Milam Residence
... that the Milam Residence is an oceanfront property with an orthogonal facade?Source: "...the rectangles and squares of the orthogonal facade..."- ALT1: ... that the Milam Residence (pictured) has a facade of geometric shapes which also serve a function? Source: The geometric facade is functional, too, as the wide openings are filled with glass that deflects harsh sunlight and wind.

Interesting house, on fine sources, no copyvio obvious. The image is licensed and nicely abstract, but I believe that the other one in the article would clarify at a glance the house in its location, which was important for the architect. Both hooks work only with the image and are a bit boring otherwise, - I suggest to include something about the significance in architecture history. Let's strike the first and work on the other. I believe the boxes have more than one function, no? I have a few concerns about the article, not all needed for DYK (only a ref), but as you are heading for GA, you might be interested.
- Unfamiliar with the architect's name, I assumed "of the Sarasota School ..." meant he did it as a student, - not the director ;)
- I'd use the total image for the lead - as explained above, and use the other below the infobox to not sandwich the text.
- Builder and owners appear only in the infobox, without reference. Please also mention them in the body, with a reference.
- There's some repetition in the prose, please read once more and you'll see.
- I think the Awards section has too much which isn't awards. NRHP - is that an award? I'd merge it all with the history section. The one true award stands out in the infobox. --Gerda Arendt (talk) 13:47, 29 January 2022 (UTC)
- No need for you to strike (it broke the indenting), just let me know when done, and I'll look again. --Gerda Arendt (talk) 16:33, 29 January 2022 (UTC)
- Or rather:
good for DYK, and the other is the GA reviewer's job. --Gerda Arendt (talk) 16:38, 29 January 2022 (UTC)
- @Gerda Arendt: Thank you much for the helpful recommendations and the review. I appreciated the opportunity to improve the article. Bruxton (talk) 16:47, 29 January 2022 (UTC)
