From Pittsburgh Streets

| Neighborhood | Sheraden |
| Hartley Street (1869–1880) | |
| Fuller Alley (1908–1914) | |
This alley was originally Hartley Street, laid out in 1869 for N. P. Sawyer as part of a village he called Ashchenaz.[1] This was the "H" street in an alphabetical sequence of street names in Sawyer's plan that went from A to P (see Tybee Street).
In 1880 Ashchenaz was re-subdivided by Andrew Patterson and renamed Sheridan (later spelled Sheraden). In this new plan, the former Hartley Street became an unnamed alley.[2][3]
The borough of Sheraden was annexed to the city of Pittsburgh in 1907.[4][5] A Pittsburgh city ordinance the next year named all the unnamed alleys, and this one became Fuller Alley.[6] It became Fuller Way in 1914 when another ordinance changed all alleys to ways.[7]
