The meticulously restored structures now represent a mix of single family homes and apartments, condominiums, and office buildings. Beech Street is known as Pittsburgh's best street. It includes homes familiar to notables including Gertrude Stein and mystery writer Mary Roberts-Reinhardt.

Allegheny West is more than Beech Avenue. Although I enjoyed the pictures, is Keystone Plumbing (which the City lists as Central Northside) the best Brighton Road picture that you could come up with? My neighbors on West North, Galveston, and N. Lincoln were also left out. Bob Malakff
