Comment: I'll add more hooks later

5x expanded by Epicgenius (talk). Self-nominated at 14:37, 1 November 2019 (UTC).

Interesting building, on excellent sources, offline source accepted AGF, no copyvio obvious. The image is licensed and would be great. How about linking Egyptian revival in the hooks? I confess it's a bit too much of "once" "one of the only" going on in the hooks for my taste. I think just mentioning the style - never heard of, I confess - makes it interesting, regardless how few there are. I'd also not end in "overturned". Looking forward to simpler hooks, - the image will be the attraction, not the hook wording. This rare thing should be pictured. - In the article, same, "one of the city's only Egyptian Revival buildings", how about "few" instead of "only" which suggests "one" (to me). --Gerda Arendt (talk) 14:16, 13 November 2019 (UTC)

Thank you. I like ALT6 best, and approve that one. If you want one of the others, please trim further - who cares - regarding the building - if it was "one of the world's ..." - or just "a large"? --Gerda Arendt (talk) 15:26, 13 November 2019 (UTC)
