Jim Horne notes:

51-Across: Homer (1881–1947) and Langley (1885–1947) Collyer were well-educated men from a prominent New York family—Homer was a lawyer and Langley was an engineer and concert pianist. Following the deaths of their parents in the 1920s, they completely withdrew from society and sealed themselves inside their four-story Harlem brownstone.

Because of their immense notoriety, the term Collyer brothers became a mid-century catchphrase for extreme hoarders, hermits, and misers.
