Fort Pitt Boulevard : ウィキペディア英語版 | Fort Pitt Boulevard Fort Pitt Boulevard is a road in Pittsburgh on the southern area of Downtown, connecting Fort Pitt Bridge and Interstate 376. Fort Pitt poses a particular challenge to both mapmaker and navigator---along its entire half-mile length, up to six separate roadways making up the Boulevard, the Penn-Lincoln Parkway, and ramps between the latter and various Downtown streets are woven together in a space less than 300 feet wide. Prior to 1940, the road was known as Water Street. In 1806, it was the home of industrialist James O'Hara;〔"Pittsburgh in 1806" by Lois Mulkearn. Originally published in the Spring 1948 issue of Pitt: A Quarterly of Fact and Thought at the University of Pittsburgh. at http://digital.library.pitt.edu/pittsburgh/beck/〕 from 1840 to 1935 it was the site of ''Monongahela House,'' a hotel which played host to visitors such as Abraham Lincoln and Mark Twain.〔Photograph at http://pgdigs.tumblr.com/post/29546894350/circa-1900-the-monongahela-house-was-in-its-day〕 Of all the businesses that were established along the road prior to the name change, the only ones still in business are Heyl & Patterson Inc., W.W. Patterson Manufacturing and Graybar Electric Company. == References == 〔
