Images of interior

edit

By comparison with King, the stereograph seems misdated. They are the same interior; namely, the second exchange. Vzeebjtf (talk) 08:46, 6 March 2021 (UTC)Reply

5x expanded by Epicgenius (talk). Self-nominated at 18:14, 6 March 2021 (UTC).Reply

  •   This article is a fivefold expansion and is new enough and long enough. I am approving all the hooks, including the ALTBP hooks, but the promoter will need to be adroit if one of these is used. The hook facts are cited inline, the article is neutral, and I detected no copyright issues. A QPQ has been done. (If the Exchange retained ownership of the land, why did it have to "pay $100,000 in annual rent for the ground lease"?) Cwmhiraeth (talk) 11:49, 14 March 2021 (UTC)Reply
  • Cwmhiraeth, thanks for the review. At the time, the building's owner and land owner were different entities. The Exchange retained land ownership but leased the ground floor from the building owner (hence a ground-story lease). I have clarified this now. Epicgenius (talk) 17:31, 14 March 2021 (UTC)Reply

"Site redevelopment" section

edit

"When the Uris Buildings Corporation subsequently took over the development, the Produce Exchange's land ownership was preserved. … Although the Produce Exchange had to pay $100,000 in annual rent for the ground lease … ." What am I missing? Vzeebjtf (talk) 07:26, 14 March 2021 (UTC)Reply

Vzeebjtf, I've fixed this now, as mentioned in the DYK nomination. It was a ground-story lease. Epicgenius (talk) 17:36, 14 March 2021 (UTC)Reply
Excellent. Thank you. Vzeebjtf (talk) 22:35, 14 March 2021 (UTC)Reply
