What was Anne's special name for 263 Prinsengracht street?

Anne's name for it was not really special, it was literal. Anne called it - and intended to title her hoped-for publication after the war - "Het Achterhuis", which literally means "the back house". That particular part of buildings that had it had been called "het achterhuis" for centuries - Anne did not invent that. It was one of the original translators that rendered "het achterhuis" as "the Secret Annex", to give it an air of mystery. Following Anne's wishes, Otto named the first published edition of the diary "Het Achterhuis", but almost all succesive editions have been titled "Anne Frank - The Diary of a Young Girl", or "The Diary of Anne Frank".
