This alley was laid out in a plan of lots for S. McCrickart and J. Montgomery recorded in 1883, though that plan did not give it a name.[1] An 1888 city ordinance authorizing the opening of Glen Caladh Street called it McCrickart Alley.[2] A revised plan by McCrickart was recorded in 1895; this plan named it Morse Alley.[3] It became Morse Way in 1914, when a city ordinance changed all alleys in Pittsburgh to ways.[4]
