I'm concerned that this article does not meet GA criterion 3a in that it does not address the main aspects of the topic. Specifically there is no coverage of the building's architecture or its grounds, and the balance is too much on the inn and restaurant. Therefore I'm putting this review on hold for the next seven days to allow time for the article's expansion.

Lead A one-sentence lead cannot adequately summarise the article, and must be expanded anyway when the coverage of the article has improved.

Hmmm… this could be difficult. When I wrote the article, I went with what I could source, and that's what I was able to find (well, that and ghost stories, but I didn't think the latter were encyclopedic).

Any suggestions on where else I might look? Dori ☾Talk ☯ Contribs☽ 01:20, 26 August 2012 (UTC)[reply]

What about the National Register of Historic Places? Malleus Fatuorum 01:23, 26 August 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Would the nomination form be considered a reliable source? There's all kinds of wonderfulness in there. If so, I'll get right on it. Dori ☾Talk ☯ Contribs☽ 01:42, 26 August 2012 (UTC)[reply]

I think that would do nicely, and it's got exactly the kind of information you need. Malleus Fatuorum 02:49, 26 August 2012 (UTC)[reply]

BTW, I think that ghost stories are fair game for an encyclopedia article on an old building, and add a bit of colour. I included them in an article I wrote some time ago anyway; it's a matter of appropriate balance. Malleus Fatuorum 02:51, 26 August 2012 (UTC)[reply]

There seems to have been no progress made on the issues raised in this review. If work is in hand I'm happy to keep the review open, otherwise I'll close it in the next couple of days. Malleus Fatuorum 00:05, 9 September 2012 (UTC)[reply]
