porte-cochère

text: The Vaugirard Cemetery was an exception among the cemeteries of Paris. It had its peculiar usages, so far that it had its porte-cochère, and its small door which, in the quarter, old people, tenacious of old words, called the cavalier door, and the pedestrian door.

ref: 1862, Victor Hugo, “It is Not Enough to be a Drunkard to be Immortal”, in Cha[rle]s E[dwin] Wilbour, transl., Les Misérables. Cosette. […], volume II, New York, N.Y.: [George W.] Carleton, publisher, […], →OCLC, book 8 (Cemeteries Take What is Given Them), page 150, column 1:

text: [T]he feature of the large porte-cochère or carriage doorway is certainly sufficient in itself, were there no other dissimilarities, to attract even the most unobservant eye. […] The fact, however, of the porte-cochère taking up so much of the ground-floor is often most ingeniously compensated by making the space to the right or left of the doorway, as the case may be, into an excellent shop. […] [T]he yard at the back into which the porte-cochère opens has planned around it the stables and coach-house, an admirable arrangement of which we have more than once spoken in these columns.

ref: 1883 June 9, “Portes-Cochères”, in George Godwin, editor, The Builder: An Illustrated Weekly Magazine for the Architect, Engineer, Archæologist, Constructor, Sanitary Reformer, and Art-lover, volume XLIV, number 2105, Great Queen St. London, W.C.: Wyman & Sons, →OCLC, page 763, columns 1 and 3:

text: This killing of two birds with one stone, making a porte-cochère and a second-story balcony at the same time, was so attractive to Mrs. Smith that it turned the scale in favour of a change. Her stable and carriage-drive were removed to the other side of the house, and Mrs. John rejoiced as an apparent joint-proprietor of the admired summer-house.

ref: 1883 August 15, R. C. Gardner, “All Out-doors.—VI.”, in Albion W[inegar] Tourgée, editor, The Continent: An Illustrated Weekly Magazine, volume IV, number 7 (number 79 overall), Philadelphia, Pa.: Our Continent Publishing Company, →OCLC, page 208, column 2:

text: But Miss Thorn relieved the situation by laughing aloud, […] By the time we reached the house we were thanking our stars she had come. Mrs. Cooke came out from under the port-cochère to welcome her.

ref: 1897 December (indicated as 1898), Winston Churchill, chapter V, in The Celebrity: An Episode, New York, N.Y.: The Macmillan Company; London: Macmillan & Co., Ltd., →OCLC, pages 69–70:

text: The porte-cochère, so-called, is but a narrow doorway, and is actually situated in the Rue St. Germain l'Auxerrois. […] The porte-cochère of his former lodging-house was not yet open; he took up his stand close beside it.

text: The station remains connected to the hotel by a glass canopy or porte-cochère that was much admired by John Betjeman, but you could stand all day under that canopy and not see anyone walk from station to hotel.

[…] Under the influence of this increased interest and curiosity, I knocked at the porte cochère, which was opened. Not perceiving any porter's lodge, I advanced towards a lofty square pavilion, which was situated between the yard and the garden.

ref: 1846, Eugene Süe, “Regina”, in Martin the Foundling; or, The Memoirs of a Valet de Chambre, New York, N.Y.: Harper & Brothers, […], →OCLC, page 246, column 1:

text: The whole domain is shut up from the street by a great porte-cochère, or portal, calculated for the admission of carriages. This consists of two massy folding doors, that swing heavily opn upon a spacious entrance, passing under the front of the edifice into the court-yard.

text: That distinguishing feature of the street-architecture of Paris—the porte cochère—has its prototype still in the City of London, though it is almost as seldom met with now as the pointed gable, the latticed window, or the overhanging story of a much earlier period. […] But exceptions to the rule may yet be found, and here and there the curious seeker may stumble, even at the present hour, upon a genuine porte cochère.

Of course this was never true, but it added to the authenticity of a meal.

text: The multi-millionaire [Alexander Thynn, 7th Marquess of Bath] named his numerous girlfriends wifelets when he embarked on his "polyamorous" lifestyle shortly after marrying in 1969. [...] The trouble between two of the women erupted on Sunday night as a fight broke out in his Wiltshire stately home, Longleat – famed for its safari park lions. As the wifelets fought for his affections Lord Bath retired to his bedroom, which is decorated with murals inspired by the Kama Sutra, the Indian sex manual.
