Cleve Alley, as it was known prior to 1915, is a dead-end lane north from Little Bourke Street between Spencer and King streets. It was likely named for the Cleve brothers, who built a bonded warehouse in Lonsdale Street in 1854, and later expanded the business to the corner of King Street. In 1895, the lane forked to the east, and was bordered by a store, workshops and sheds. The lane borders the former CitiPower Power Station, on the same land that was occupied in 1895 by the Electric Light Works.
