Proper nouns modified?

0Hi,02br
02br
00Can a proper noun be modified by an indefinite article? I think it could but wants your confirmation.02br
02br
00in the Senate. -- Here, 'Senate' is a proper noun and if we happen to have a new Senate, can it write it as "a new Senate"?02br
02br
00Believer Street -- Can it be made 'a new Believer Street' if the conditions are right? One possible right condition might be that there is Believer Street made anew by planting whole new rows of trees and the surface being gone through a new concrete job? 02br
02br
00Can you give me your examples accompanying the explanation?0-
