Overall: Article is new enough, long enough and sourced. All 3 hooks are cited and interesting. No apparent copyvio, Earwig only picked up names and addresses. The only change I would suggest might be adding a picture to this nomination, since I see a couple on the article. ~~Once qpq is done this one will be ready.~~ qpq has been done.

@BuySomeApples: Thanks for the review. I've done a QPQ and added an image for consideration now. The reason I was hesitant to add the images before (even though almost all of them are my own photos) was because none of them really showed the full extent of either building, or even a significant portion of the building. Epicgenius (talk) 19:23, 10 August 2021 (UTC)[reply]

@Epicgenius: Awesome this nomination is ready then! The picture isn't really necessary if you don't feel that any of them adequately depict the building. Although it's nice to have, I think I'll defer to your preference on it. At this point, we can leave it in or out. BuySomeApples (talk) 20:54, 10 August 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Hi @Epicgenius: I wasn't sure if you preferred the photo or not. If not, I can just leave it out. BuySomeApples (talk) 23:17, 12 August 2021 (UTC)[reply]

BuySomeApples, it is fine either way. I suppose the promoter will decide whether to include the photo when they do move this to a prep, so I'm not too worried about the image being used (or not). Epicgenius (talk) 23:25, 12 August 2021 (UTC)[reply]

@Epicgenius: In that case I'm gonna approve the photos with this nomination and leave it up to the promoter. Thanks! BuySomeApples (talk) 23:28, 12 August 2021 (UTC)[reply]
