The Mexican War Streets is a district of houses within the North Side neighborhood of Pittsburgh.  It's well known for its gorgeously restored Victorian-era rowhouses.  Built in the former Allegheny City, these houses were once stately homes for the wealthy.

The Mexican War Streets were laid out between 1848 and 1855 and named after generals and battles of the  Mexican-American War.

For those in the Pittsburgh area this weekend, you can see these houses for yourself when the 43rd annual House & Garden Tour of the Mexican War Streets occurs, according to the Mexican War Streets Historical Society's website:
