Name

[edit]

Seems to be commonly known as the "Jarrot Mansion". All the best: Rich Farmbrough, 10:50, 25 April 2016 (UTC).[reply]

Good point, but the building is called the "Nicholas Jarrot Mansion" in the Historic American Buildings Survey (HABS) [1].Bigturtle (talk) 15:04, 25 April 2016 (UTC)[reply]
Yes, but... The HABS/NHRP etc, have a disambiguation problem, that they have partially solved by using full personal names, where these may not have been used before. Indeed typically houses are named for the family that lives there, unlike specifically dedicated buildings, such as the J. Edgar Hoover Building.
Note: this was triggered by reading an archived discussion of the way to sort buildings in categories that mentions this particular example: and indeed we do use DEFAULTSORT:Jarrot, Nicholas, Mansion here. The rationale is that people will look under "Jarrot". To me this suggests that we have the name of the building wrong, per WP:COMMONNAME.

I have taken several steps to smooth a move of the existing page to what is now a naked redirect, should that be desirable.Bigturtle (talk) 23:38, 27 April 2016 (UTC)[reply]
