"VRI"

[edit]

A minor error occurs in the article. In the Setting section, the following comment is made:

The building bears the dedication "VRI 1887", alluding to its construction during the reign of Queen Victoria of the United Kingdom ("Victoria Regina I")

The abbreviation VRI did not stand for "Victoria Regina I" (i.e., "Queen Victoria the First") but, rather, it stood for, "Victoria Regina Imperatrix", which inclded the imperial title she adopted after 1876. I have amended the article accordingly, assuming (in good faith) that this amendment won't be challenged. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 220.240.143.71 (talk) 15:21, 1 April 2009 (UTC)[reply]
