House Easter Egg - Sherlock Holmes Reference

If you watch House when he either enters or leaves his home, you will see that the address is: 221B. This references the greatest detective ever. Mr Sherlock Holmes of 221B baker street. I'm not sure yet what street he lives on, but I'll keep looking.

Mr. Saturday writes:

David Shore has said the entire character concept of House is based on Sherlock Homes, in particular his remarkable ability to rapidly deduce characteristics and past actions of a person simply by giving them a once-over.

Irene Adler was Holmes' only "love." She was said to be House's true love on the 12/09/08 episode.

it is kinda ironic that house (based on Holmes) is a DR. the man Sir Doyle based Holmes off of was also a DR...coincidence?

This is very much intentional. Its mentioned in one of the cast and writer interviews on "Hulu"- the writer likens House to Holmes, and Watson as Wilson. I did not notice the address egg, but it seems like the writers are having a little fun.
