Tremont Alley was laid out in two widely separated plans subdividing the estate of Phebe A. Phillips, both recorded in 1896.[1][2] Both segments of Tremont Alley lay near Nine Mile Run, one close to its mouth at the Monongahela River, the other further upstream, by the mouth of Fern Hollow Creek in what is now Frick Park.[3] It seems to have been envisioned that these two portions would eventually be joined. Tremont Alley became Tremont Way in 1914, when a city ordinance changed all alleys in Pittsburgh to ways.[4] However, the streets and alleys in these plans were never built or opened, and they were all vacated by city ordinances in 1918 and 1926.[5][6]
