Mary Street from S 30th Street

I’m not really feeling it about these steps.  As a guy who has climbed a lot of steps, these do not feel like city steps.  They are made out of lower quality wood, are of a different construction, and are steeper than any city steps I have climbed.  I think that these are privately built steps.

On the other hand, the steep strip of land they cross is owned by the city.  I am not sure what to think.

What I can say is that these steps serve perhaps only one, or maybe only two homes.  If you want to do a comprehensive survey of all the steps in Pittsburgh, go have a visit, but the only place these steps take you to is someone’s front porch.
