Extended Name of Elevators

1. An extended name is useful when there is more than one facility in the same town (station location) operating under the same name or ownership. The extended name (North Unit or Main House) helps to distinguish one facility from the next.
   
   
2. The station name should not be used as an extended name since geography and station names are already a key part of the facility identity and is present on the directory web page. Using the station name as an extended name is therefore redundant.
   
   
3. An extended name is also commonly used when a facility has a widly known nickname, traditional or legacy name. Examples are "Dixie mill", "Checkerboard" or "Pier 49".
   
   
4. An extended name is also used as a place to include a 'doing business as' (DBA) name. Don't add a DBA name to the official elevator name. Adding a DBA name to the official name prevents the complete cross referencing of facilities that are owned by the same company, which appears at the bottom of each elevator facility's web page.
