"Boyd St remains Boyd St (named after the man who hung himself there well over a hundred years ago), Diamond St became Forbes Ave in 1948, the Modern Diamond st is just the left over remnant of a recut. 5th remains 5th."

"I believe the view of the old photo is actually one block further to the south where Forbes and Schenley intersect as opposed to the Northumberland intersection. :-)"
"I admire these old concrete arch bridges of the early 1900's. I worked on the seismic retrofit of the Colorado Street Bridge in Pasadena, CA which had similar architecture. The difference in the view corridor mattered back then I guess. "
