Houses with Names?

This past week, I have been researching a house identified in the County  
Recorder's records as "Sea Bluff." A few weeks ago, another house was identified  
as "La Casa de las Siete Candelas" (house of seven candles). Has anyone out  
there got ideas on why and when people named houses? Why dont we see this  
anymore? Is there a cultural or historical root to this practice of naming  
houses?
