Hmmm - interesting question; you mean treat it like "mensa"? As it happens, his name could be declined, but what would you do with "U2" or "Garth Brooks"? I suspect that in practical terms, their policy of not declining proper names is the correct one, although you noted, I presume, the use of "Aedes Albae" (in the accusative form) for "White House"?
