"Also, regarding the description from the archive, the view is clearly not from the roof of the William Penn. More like the 6th floor. :)"
"You're totally right - when I loaded your, it was showing a totally different pan yesterday. I think it was a glitch. However, the view is from Grant Street, and your is from a little up Sixth. You can tell by the perspective on the DoubleTree building."
"Fifth Avenue Place replaced the Jenkins Arcade."
"That's what I had and the view was closer to what you tagged. "
"That house is a definite match, but since the same part of Penn/Winebiddle is long gone, it's hard to say what was there before. For me, the most compelling is the building on the SE corner (far left) of the intersection with Penn. The roofline of the one at Penn/Evaline is a perfect fit, Penn/Winebiddle, not so much."
"This is looking down Webster Ave from Grant. The current DoubleTree Hotel is under construction in the background."
"You might be right. The house behind the christmas tree shaped tree in the Street View looks like the house behind the car in the old photo. "
"Chuck's tag is correct (Fifth between Stevenson & Pride), but this photo is probably part of the "Try Street Sewer" system series."
"Sorry, I mistyped. I meant this looks more like Dearborn and North Evaline, looking toward Penn. It looks like maybe the original photo was labeled Winebiddle, but the buildings on Penn and Winebiddle don't really match up with the photo.
I don't really have a historical sense for what these two corners looked like in 1931, but it just doesn't seem right to me for some reason. Just an alternate tag for this photo I guess. If I'm wrong on this, please let me know."
"This is showing the old 9th Street Bridge on the Allegheny."
"To me, this looks more like Dearborn and Winebiddle, looking toward Penn. Any particular reason it was tagged as Winebiddle instead?"
"To me, this looks more like Dearborn and Winebiddle, looking toward Penn. Any particular reason it was tagged as Winebiddle instead?"
"This is incorrectly labeled, this is not in Polish Hill, it's the Hill District."
"Jones Street was changed to Brereton Street sometime before 1950. Tag is approximate, based on tilt of site in photo, best matches upper Brereton."
"The "property between Bin(d)ler Street and Hamilton Avenue" would be on Broad Street in Larimer, not Dunmoyle in Squirrel Hill. However, the house pictured is on Dunmoyle."
"I think the title of this picture is wrong--Try St is down between First and Second Avenues underneath the "T" tracks. The view is of Fifth Ave."
"Yes! One of the current Point Park buildings was actually moved when 2nd ave was widened. "
"Addresses in this description are wrong: should be 717 and 801, see http://images.library...."
