Kurtz Street
From Pittsburgh Streets
| Kurtz Street | |
|---|---|
| Neighborhood | Chartiers City |
| Fate | Partly vacated in 1970; does not exist today |
| Elm Street (until 1908) | |
This former street ran from the eastern end of Isoline Street north to Hass Street.[1] It was laid out as Elm Street in 1889 in Charles Haas' plan of lots.[2]
The Borough of Sheraden, including today's neighborhood of Chartiers City, was annexed by Pittsburgh in 1907.[3] Pittsburgh already had an Elm Street in the Lower Hill District, so the following year this Elm Street was renamed Kurtz Street.[4]
The portion of Kurtz Street between Isoline Street and Cream Way was vacated in 1970.[5] The segment between Cream Way and Hass Street seems never to have been officially vacated, but it does not exist today.
