| Edward Alley (until 1881) | |
| Origin of name | Richard Edwards |
| Enon Alley (1881–1914) | |
This alley was laid out as Edward Alley in 1836 in a plan of lots for William Bell, George Breed, and Richard Edwards; it was named for Edwards.[1][2]
In 1881, a Pittsburgh city ordinance renamed many streets and alleys to fix duplicates. There was another Edward Alley in the South Side (today Edwards Way), so this alley was renamed Enon Alley.[3] It became Enon Way in 1914, when another ordinance changed all alleys in Pittsburgh to ways.[4]
