I think actually it is the block where Brooks Brothers, Carnegie Library, and Smithfield United Church of Christ are located, Miltenberger Alley is now Montour Way.

The Pfarrhaus was the clergy house, built 1819, torn down 1854, and the church was the second, built 1814 or 1815, torn down 1832.

But, who was Miltenberger, that there was this alley and also now the street in Uptown? The 1835 map has Miltenberger owning property between what is now Van Braam and Miltenberger, frmo Fifth to the Blvd. of the Allies.

okay, George Miltenberger was the owner of a copper and tin factory, at Wayne Street and Duquesne Way, now the location of the Convention Center.
