Index Way formerly ran from Lothrop Street to De Soto Street, between Victoria Street and Terrace Street.
It was laid out in 1871 in a plan of lots for J. C. Bidwell, though that plan did not give it a name.[1] It was named Index Alley by a city ordinance in 1881 that established the names of all streets and alleys in Pittsburgh.[2] It became Index Way in 1914, when another ordinance changed all alleys in the city to ways.[3]
Index Way was vacated in 1945.[4]
