Opened in 1882, the incline ran from 2nd Avenue to Bluff Street, a distance of {{convert|350|ft|0}}, and a vertical distance of {{convert|135|ft|0}}.[2][3] The designer was Samuel Diescher. The incline was abandoned on 7 November 1900,[4] and afterward sat idle for about three years before fire destroyed it.[5] Marking the former path of the incline are public steps which ascend from the south portal of the Armstrong Tunnel (at the South Tenth Street Bridge) to the Boulevard of the Allies next to the Duquesne University campus.
