QPQ: Done.

Overall: @Bruxton: Good article. Though, it doesn't exactly say that he Geilfuss to build the house. Also what is going on in this sentence "He was remembered for his Italian Villa style which was designed by Henry Geilfuss and built in 1889. The home was added to the National Register of Historic Places in 1989."? Onegreatjoke (talk) 02:54, 13 May 2023 (UTC)[reply]

@Onegreatjoke: I corrected the sentence. Also Geilfuss was the architect who designed the home so I changed the hook to designed. Bruxton (talk) 03:08, 13 May 2023 (UTC)[reply]
