Copper Way

| Neighborhood | New Homestead |
| Peach Alley (until 1934) | |
This former alley was laid out as Peach Alley in 1900 in the plan of New Homestead.[1][2] After New Homestead was annexed by Pittsburgh in 1931,[3] this name conflicted with Peach Way in the Hill District, so it was changed to Copper Way by a city ordinance in 1934.[4]
Copper Way does not exist today.
