Forbes Avenue is one of the longest streets in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, United States. It has a length of about ten miles (16 km) and is named for General John Forbes. The westernmost terminus of Forbes Avenue lies at Stanwix Street in the downtown part of the city, then flows eastward past PPG Place, between the Courthouse and the City-County Building, past Duquesne University, through Soho, and Oakland where it passes the Cathedral of Learning and the Carnegie Library of Pittsburgh. From Oakland, Forbes Avenue continues eastward past Carnegie Mellon University and Schenley Park, through the neighborhood of Squirrel Hill, and past Homewood Cemetery and Frick Park before it reaches its eastern terminus at Wilkinsburg.
