'''DeLuna Alley''', also called '''Cushman's Alley''', '''De Reache Alley''', and '''DeLuna Street''', is a short, narrow City alley in [[downtown Pensacola]]. In its present form, it extends south from [[Intendencia Street]], just west of [[Jefferson Street]], for less than one block, behind [[Ragtyme Grille]]. Previously, the alley continued south and connected with [[Government Street]].
''Early Vital Records of Pensacola, Florida'' places the alley thusly:
:''Located one block east of [[Palafox Street|Palafox]], between [[Government Street|Government]] and [[Intendencia Street|Intendencia]], about 100 feet west of and parallel to [[Jefferson Street|Jefferson]], which was not yet cut through.''
Previously called '''Cushman's Alley''' or '''De Reache Alley''', it was established as a City street, called '''DeLuna Street''', by ordinance in [[1906]]:
{{cquote|''The thoroughfare ... now known as Cushman's Alley or Dereache Street, is hereby declared to be a street to be known as DeLuna Street, and the City hereby assumes full control of and obligations for the maintenance and use of the same as a street.|20px|20px|Legal notice, ''Pensacola Journal'', March 31, 1906.}}
The name "Cushman's Alley" was derived from [[Cushman's Drug Store]].<ref>''Early Vital Records of Pensacola, Florida''. West Florida Genealogical Society (1989). Sidney P. Thomes, Editor.</ref>
