Diamond Street Hump Cut
Original caption
A view of construction along Diamond Street during the hump removal project, looking from Ross Street to Grant Street with the Allegheny County Courthouse and Jail on the right and the City-County Building on the left. The "hump" cut took place in the downtown area known as Grant's Hill. The project began with planning in 1909 and ended with the final cut in 1913. It changed the gradient of Grant Street, Diamond Street, and Oliver, Fifth, Sixth, Webster and Wylie Avenues.
