Arms as a place of residence?

edit

I've noticed that buildings/co-ops/apartments are often called Arms, such as Windsor Arms, Robson Arms, Robot Arms (Futurama). Should this be listed here? Does anyone know the root of this? 74.15.66.250 (talk) 17:14, 4 April 2008 (UTC)Reply

Why are apartment buildings called arms?

I know why. its because the bricks on the house are like arms to the building. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 173.190.24.193 (talk) 02:39, 26 June 2010 (UTC)Reply
