- Size is good. Newness is good. Meets guidelines. I like ALT2 because it has some mystery to it, although it is a little strange (180 Remsen was the one being demolished, but the article is about 176 Remsen?) jp×g 20:51, 9 June 2023 (UTC)
- Yeah, it's a little confusing. 180 Remsen was the original headquarters. When 176 Remsen was built, it was more of an annex to the original headquarters, but it served as the main building. 176 Remsen is the only one of the two Brooklyn Union Gas headquarters buildings that's still standing. How about this?
- ALT5: ... that although the Brooklyn Union Gas Company's original building, next to its replacement, was once described as having been "miraculously saved", the older building was demolished in 2004 without protest?
