I guess the Jefferson is a reference to the Vaudeville Jefferson Theater which use to be on 14th and 3rd.
Here's a shot of it from my blog, before it became the mystery lot ?

When do the dead bodies burst up through the floors? When do the hauntings begin? The suspense is killing me!

I like it... Well not as much as the mystery lot. But, it could have been so much worse and we all know it...
