What's in the name?
Did you know that the major streets in our association are named after horse carriages?
For example, a Barouche [buh-roosh] was a fashionable, four wheeled, hooded type of horse-drawn carriage in the 19th century. It was arranged so that the sitters on the front seat faced those on the back seat.
An earlier carriage from the 18th century, the Calash [kuh-lash] carriage (which is another of our streets) was a light carriage with small wheels with a calash top.
Landau [lan-daw] is another carriage which is a four-wheeled, two-seated carriage with a top made in two parts that may be let down or folded back. Named after Landau, a town in Germany where it was first made.
And the Cabriolet [kab-ree-uh-ley] was a light, two-wheeled, one-horse carriage with a folding top, capable of seating two persons.
A brougham (pronounced "broom" or "brohm") was a light, four-wheeled horse-drawn carriage built in the 19th century. 
It was either invented for Scottish jurist Henry Brougham, 1st Baron Brougham and Vaux, Lord Chancellor of Great Britain, or simply made fashionable by his example. It had an enclosed body with two doors, like the rear section of a coach; it sat two, sometimes with an extra pair of fold-away seats in the front corners, and with a box seat in front for the driver and a footman or passenger. Unlike a coach, the carriage had a glazed front window, so that the occupants could see forward. The forewheels were capable of turning sharply.
