| Utica Alley (until 1914) | |
This narrow alley, running from Henry Street to Winthrop Street between the Dithridge Street parking garage and a red brick electrical substation, was laid out in 1851 in a plan of lots by Edward Dithridge and Henry Reis, though that plan did not give it a name.[1] Its name was established as Utica Alley by a Pittsburgh city ordinance in 1881.[2] It became Utica Way in 1914, when another ordinance changed all alleys in Pittsburgh to ways.[3]
