Halfway Way
From Pittsburgh Streets
| Halfway Way | |
|---|---|
| Neighborhood | Duquesne Heights |
| Halfway Alley (until 1914) | |
This alley was laid out as Halfway Alley in the Shaler Place plan of lots, recorded in 1893.[1] It became Halfway Way in 1914, when a city ordinance changed all alleys in Pittsburgh to ways.[2]
In a 1937 Post-Gazette column, Charles F. Danver humorously paired Halfway Way with Mid Way in Carrick.[3]
