Doris, The following address will allow you to view early maps of Pittsburgh and its wards (sorry 1872 is as far back as this site goes). http://digital.library.pitt.edu/maps/browse.html - at top of list click on "1872 atlas -----, this brings up a page with a map and a list of wards, scroll down to 5th, 7th and 8th wards and click on plate 25 ~ this brings up a map of the 3 wards with a list of buildings and land marks associated with this map. Each ward is a different color and its boundaries are indicated by a dotted line ~ where it says "Select Resolution Level" (100%, 50% etc) allows you to enlarge sections of the map, read addresses and names of property owners. When you have the map enlarged you can navigate around on it by clicking areas on the small map on the right.
