From Pittsburgh Streets
Paper Way
Neighborhood Bloomfield
Paper Alley (until 1914)

This alley was laid out in 1894 in the revised plan of Friendship Park, though that plan did not give it a name.[1] It was named Paper Alley by 1901, when a city ordinance established its grade.[2] It became Paper Way in 1914, when another ordinance changed all alleys in Pittsburgh to ways.[3]
