This alley runs south from Fisher Street east of Engstler Street. It was laid out in a plan of the Engstler estate in 1890, though that plan did not give it a name.[1]
St. Clair Borough, including this alley, was annexed by Pittsburgh in 1923.[2] This unnamed alley was named Beza Way by a Pittsburgh city ordinance later that year.[3]
