Is that Chestnut Street? Or Beau?
Dunno.
This couldn't be 1954, as Pittsburgh Railways discontinued service to Washington in August 1953.
this was taken in front of the Basle Theatre (Midtown). This, i would guess was late 1953, the interurban used to "wye" behind the washington trust building, but in the final months... it looped down Beau MADE A LEFT onto one way College ST for one block then made a right onto Chestnut. Cool Photo
