Hill Way formerly ran from Kearns Avenue to Greentree Road in the area opposite Junius Street. It was laid out in a plan of lots for John Manchester and Ephraim and Ann Clay, recorded in 1868.[1] It appears, unlabeled, in the 1882 Hopkins atlas;[2] it is labeled "Hill Way" in the 1901 edition.[3]
This alley was never opened for public use, and by 1929 all surrounding land was the property of the Pittsburgh and West Virginia Railways Company, so Hill Way was vacated by a city ordinance that year.[4]
