| Isle Alley (until 1914) | |
This alley was laid out in 1901 in the Squirrel Hill plan, though that plan did not give it a name.[1] It was named Isle Alley by 1906, when it was mentioned in city ordinances establishing the grades of Ibsen Alley and Inez Alley.[2][3] It became Isle Way in 1914, when another ordinance changed all alleys in Pittsburgh to ways.[4]
Isle Way is one of a set of alleys in the district bounded by Morrowfield Avenue, Beechwood Boulevard, Monitor Street, and Murray Avenue whose names begin with the letter I: the others are Ibsen Way, Ikon Way, Inez Way, and Ira Way.
