Just around the corner from my world headquarters is Roslyn Place, which sits off Ellsworth Avenue, near the intersection with Aiken Avenue. What's unique about it is that it features the last wood block street in Pittsburgh and one of the last in the United States.
The Pittsburgh History and Landmark Foundation plaque states the street was laid in 1914, but a 2010 story in the Tribune-Review stated its construction was completed in 1916.
According to the Trib article, the wood block street, which serves an attractive housing development, was created by Pennsylvania Railroad chief engineer Thomas Rodd, has an uncertain future, due the city's financial problems.
Here's hoping something can be done to preserve this unique feature.
