The Mexican War Streets, originally known as the "Buena Vista Tract", is a historic district in the Central Northside neighborhood of Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, in the United States. The district is densely filled with beautifully restored row houses, community gardens and tree-lined streets and alleyways. The area dates from 1848, around the time of the Mexican–American War, and consists largely of row houses, mostly Victorian-era. The Mexican War Streets Historic District was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1975. In that year, the listing was a area and there were 119 buildings deemed to contribute to the historic character of the district. In 2008, the district's listing was increased to include an additional 288 contributing buildings over a area.〔 Two entities associated with the district are Mexican War Streets Society (MWSS) and Brighton Place Preservation Coalition (BPPC). ==Brief history== In the late 19th century, Allegheny, Pennsylvania (later annexed by Pittsburgh), became known for its stately homes, occupied by some of the area's wealthy families. One such area became known as the Mexican War Streets. These streets were laid out between 1848 and 1855 by Alexander Hays on land owned by General William Robinson, who later became mayor of the city of Allegheny. A number of the streets are named after battles and generals of the Mexican–American War, including Buena Vista Street, Monterey Street, Palo Alto Street, Resaca Place, Sherman Avenue, and Taylor Avenue. Fremont Street (currently Brighton Place) had been named in recognition of John C. Frémont.
