Apartment-House Names

Abstract

LS sess names.l These names may be cut into the lintels of the main entrances or lettered on the plate glass of doorways or on renting signs somewhere about the premises. The names are not ordinarily used in preference to numbered addresses, though for some of the larger institutions they tend to be so used familiarly-as in the case of River House and the Beaux Arts A pts.2 A large number of these names-an estimate is between a quarter and a third-contain the word Arms or Court, in that order of frequency: Senior Armss Castle ArmsJ Unity Ct.J Kodgy Ct A rare inverted form also appears: Court Dther Court Bernards. And there is an occasional Courts-apparently in analogy urith Arms-as in Casino Cts.> Rebecca Cts. While =4rms seems to be holding its own) Caurt as a name element is no longer in the highest fashion. These generic elements-so to call ArmsJ Court(s)J and similar terms noticed below-are used in conjunction with words of various provenance, e.g., names of streets, personal names, and descriptive adjectives. Arms Apts., in the Bronx, suggests an unprecedented exhaustion of the imagination plus a game determination to stick to the orismological amenities. Not so numerous as those containing Court and Arms but smacking, by and large, of grander pretensions and later date are the names containing Hall} such as Gothic Hall} Cinderella Hall Alarble Hall, Holbrook Hall. The first element of Hall-names is usually one af those British or pseudo-British names that may be pronounced with pursed lips. Haddon Hall, the narne o£ the ancient English mansion and of an American cigar, is affixed to at least three apartrnent houses in Brooklyn and one in Manhattan; Brooklyn also has a Hadden Hall. At a distarlce behind Arms, Court} and Hall in pcapularity are Manor,, Tower(s)} Garde^2s} ChambersJ Terrace, House) Villaa StudiosJ Plaz
