| Spruce Alley (1903–1929) | |
This alley formerly ran between Highridge Street and Morefield Street, from Van Buren Street to Cleveland Avenue. It was laid out as Spruce Alley in 1903 as part of the Rodenbaugh Place plan of lots.[1]
Most of Rodenbaugh Place was annexed by the city of Pittsburgh in 1928.[2][3] The name Spruce Alley conflicted with Spruce Way in Lower Lawrenceville and the Strip District, so it was renamed Senior Way the next year.[4]
Senior Way is shown in a 1953 map of Pittsburgh,[5] but it does not exist today.
