These and my prior post are describing the intersection of McCandless and Duncan streets in the neighborhood of Pittsburgh known as Lawrenceville. There is another road 2 blocks form Duncan called Holmes, and we can find a John Brunsell listed on Duncan and a John Bruncell on Holmes in 1901.
Andrew Carnegie's original steel mill was in Lawrenceville, so if your Brunsell ancestors had anything to do with iron works in Sweden, it's possible they came to Pittsburgh to work in steel mills.
Attached are 1897 and 1901 directory pages for Pittsburgh.
