Clem Way
From Pittsburgh Streets
| Clem Way | |
|---|---|
| Neighborhood | Oakwood |
| Fate | Vacated in 1955 |
| Clay Alley (until 1922) | |
This short former alley ran just north of and parallel to Baldwick Road, east of the present site of the Noble Towers apartment building.
It was laid out as Clay Alley in 1891 in the East Crafton plan of T. C. Perrine.[1]
Chartiers Township was annexed by Pittsburgh in 1921.[2] The following year, many streets and alleys in the former township were renamed to fix conflicts with existing city street names. There was a Clay Way in the Lower Hill District, so Clay Alley was changed to Clem Way.[3]
Clem Way was vacated by a city ordinance in 1955.[4]
