| Beech Alley (until 1907) | |
This alley was laid out in two plans of lots in 1890: the West Liberty Land Company's plan, which did not give it a name,[1] and John Richter's plan, which named it Beech Alley.[2] It became part of the Borough of Montooth when that borough was created in 1897.[3] In 1907, Montooth Borough was annexed by Pittsburgh,[4] and Beech Alley was renamed Blanco Way[5] to avoid confusion with Beach Avenue in Garfield (today Breesport Street).
