[edit] Name of Article: House or Residence?
The name of the article started as "James Weldon Johnson House" but the building in the photo does not look like a house to me. It's called James Weldon Johnson Residence, not House, in NHL documents. I do see that in the NRIS system the NRHP is listed as J W J House. Not like, say, the Ralph J. Bunche House looks like a house. Someone could reside there, yes. Was the whole building his house, like did he own the whole building? Hmm: no, the NRHP document says he resided in one of 5 apartments in the building. And in usage, for example in [[http://www.yale.edu/ynhti/curriculum/units/1990/3/90.03.09.x.html
"Famous Afro-Americans Historical Sites Recognized by the National Park System" by Maizie P. Seabrook]], it's listed as Residence. On balance, I think it should be moved to "James Weldon Johnson Residence". I'm going to move it now. doncram 23:39, 15 September 2007 (UTC)
