Elvira Alley became known as West 14th Place and then later as Foster Court.


Location:

South off of Redman Avenue


Development:

None -- It is a narrow alley that allows access to some garages that face it. It is unknown why the alley was needed. Perhaps it was a paved over wagon path used by the Fosters in their farming practices.


Named for:

Property records list the alley as "Elvira" but this was probably a transcription error as it is more likely that the alley was named for Ebenezer Foster's wife, Almira Williams Foster.
