Stack Way

From Pittsburgh Streets
Stack Way
Neighborhood Bloomfield
Stack Alley (until 1881)

This alley was laid out in a plan of lots for Adam Wiese recorded in 1883, though that plan did not give it a name.[1] It was named Stack Alley by 1891, when an ordinance was presented in Common Council to establish its grade.[2] It became Stack Way in 1914, when another ordinance changed all alleys in Pittsburgh to ways.[3]
