| McKee Alley (until 1893) | |
| Pine Alley (1893–1906) | |
This alley was first laid out in 1882 in a plan of lots by Mrs. M. L. McGunnegle, though that plan did not give it a name.[1] It was named McKee Alley in an additional plan laid out by McGunnegle in 1888.[2]
In 1893, an Esplen borough ordinance named this alley Pine Alley, apparently under the belief that it was unnamed.[3]
Esplen Borough was annexed by Pittsburgh in January 1906.[4] That September, a Pittsburgh city ordinance named this alley Caledonia Way, again because it was mistakenly believed that it was unnamed.[5]
