This former street ran from modern Route 28 to River Avenue, approximately in line with 22nd Street on the south side of the river.[1] It appears as Pine Street in the 1836 plan of lots of G. E. Warner, Jacob Painter, and F. Lorenz. The streets in this plan perpendicular to the Allegheny River were named after trees: the others were Walnut Street (today Warfield Street), Cherry Street (today Chesbro Street), Chestnut Street, and Sycamore Street (today Heinz Street).[2]
Allegheny City was annexed by Pittsburgh in 1907,[3] and in 1910 over 900 streets were renamed to fix duplicates. Pittsburgh already had a Pine Street in the South Side Slopes, so Pine Street on the North Side was renamed Pindam Street.[4]
Pindam Street was vacated in 1951 by petition of the H. J. Heinz Company.[5]
