Kalamazoo Alley (until 1914)

This alley was laid out in 1874 in a plan of lots by John H. Sawyer, though that plan did not give it a name.[1] It was named Kalamazoo Alley by a city ordinance in 1881.[2] It became Kalamazoo Alley in 1914 when another ordinance changed all alleys in Pittsburgh to ways.[3]
