Miller Avenue
| Miller Avenue | |
|---|---|
| Neighborhood | Lincoln Place |
| Origin of name | F. C. Miller |
| Fate | Divided into Kinley Way, Kinley Avenue, and Barberry Street (today Diller Place) in 1930 |
Miller Avenue formed the northeastern edge of the Brierly plan of lots, laid out in 1902.[1] It was named for F. C. Miller, who owned the land to the north.[2][1]
Lincoln Place was annexed by the City of Pittsburgh in 1929.[3] Pittsburgh already had a Miller Street, so the next year Miller Avenue was renamed and divided into Kinley Way (from the city line to Lindberg Avenue), Kinley Avenue (for a short distance from Lindberg Avenue to modern Barberry Street), and Barberry Street (from Kinley Avenue to Scorer Street).[4]
The portion of Miller Avenue that became part of Kinley Avenue no longer exists. The portion of Miller Avenue that was renamed Barberry Street was renamed Diller Place in 1942;[5] modern Barberry Street is a different street, laid out in the Roosevelt Acres plan of lots no. 2 in 1942.[6]
