This 1909 photo is from a Brookline collection but since it shows Espy Ave. Im posting it. The photos capyion is: A view taken from Brookline Boulevard (now Bodkin Street) and Pioneer Avenue showing the Pittsburgh Railways streetcar right-of-way (near the bottom) that would one day (1930s) become part of the Boulevard Loop, in 1909. At that time the Brookline route was a single-track line. Also visible are new homes along Espy Avenue in Dormont. The fields between the streetcar line and West Liberty were part of the Oyer estate. Im having trouble getting my head around this pic, must be with a telephoto lens to see Espy Ave. And thats West Liberty Ave just down the hill from Espy Ave.
