Architect Way

From Pittsburgh Streets
Architect Way
Neighborhood East Hills

Architect Way was officially opened and named in June 1926.[1]

An ordinance in October of that year changed its name to Millard Way[2][3] to match the name of the alley on the other side of Montier Street (today Robinson Boulevard),[4] but this seems to have been ignored. Today the street sign at the corner of Remington Drive says Architect Way, as does the online map from the Pittsburgh Department of City Planning.[5]
