| Brick Alley (until ca. 1927) | |
This alley was laid out as Brick Alley in a plan of lots by the Knoxville Land Improvement Company, recorded in 1887.[1]
Knoxville Borough was annexed by Pittsburgh in 1927.[2] All alleys in Pittsburgh had been changed to ways by a city ordinance in 1914,[3] so Brick Alley probably began to be called Brick Way about this time.
