Krewson Way
From Pittsburgh Streets
This alley was laid out as C Alley in 1891 in the Sheraden Terrace plan, which lettered its parallel alleys from A to G.[1] The alley was extended southeastward two years later in the Melrose plan, though that plan did not indicate the names of the alleys.[2]
When Sheraden Borough was annexed by Pittsburgh in 1907,[3] city officials apparently believed that these alleys were unnamed, so this alley was named Wyatt Alley the following year.[4] It became Wyatt Way in 1914, when a city ordinance changed all alleys in Pittsburgh to ways.[5]
Wyatt Way was renamed Krewson Way in 1925.[6]
