. The criteria are met. Just one thing, the proposed image contains wires, scaffolding and passing cars, possibly this would be a better choice? Alaexis_¿question? 20:06, 15 April 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Alaexis, I concur with your suggestion to use this second image instead of the original! The caption should read something like: Interior courtyard of the Currency Building or the Currency Building’s interior courtyard. Thanks again for this wonderful suggestion! — West Virginian (talk) 12:07, 16 April 2021 (UTC)[reply]

I've replaced the image to avoid confusion and used the caption you suggested. Alaexis_¿question? 13:06, 16 April 2021 (UTC)[reply]
