Roslyn Place is a small wooden-paved cul-de-sac located in the Shadyside neighborhood of Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania.
The street was built in 1914 in the Nicolson Pavement style and is home to the historic Roslyn Place district.
Thomas Rodd emigrated from London at the age of 5, and following a short career as a naval officer during the American Civil War, he joined the Pennsylvania Railroad Company.
[6] The construction finished later in 1914, and the street remained in that condition for decades, only undergoing minor restorations and repairs.
[10][11] Roslyn Place also featured in notable urban designer Allan Jacobs' book Great Streets where it is compared to the likes of the Champs-Élysées in Paris and Pennsylvania Avenue in Washington, D.C.[12]
