Egina Alley (until 1914)

This alley was laid out in 1860 in the Park Place plan for George E. Peebles, though that plan did not give it a name.[1] It was named Egina Alley by a Pittsburgh city ordinance in 1881.[2] It became Egina Way in 1914, when another ordinance changed all alleys in Pittsburgh to ways.[3]
