Matt said over 13 years ago about: Boundary Street

"Actually, I think it's right, they just never opened the portion of Boundary beyond the house on the right, and later abandoned the portion attached to fifth. If you look at the map in the link below, you'll see boundary existed as a paper street, basically now describing the current lot line between Central Catholic and WQED/CMU. Also, you can see what appears to be the house in the photo on the prop of D. H. Hostetter.

Incidentally, is that the oldest known photo of a port-a-john?

"I think the description is incorrect, I think we are looking NORTHeast across Sixth toward Dante Alley in between the two buildings. Dante Alley would be roughly the Southeast portion of the Plaza at the U.S. Steel Tower.

"This is at 415 Penn ave, I can't seem to find the 400 block of Penn downtown though. Is it possible that this is where the Gateway Center is now?"
