Railroad and Bank Building

Railroad and Bank Building, Jackson St. entrance
- ... that the Railroad and Bank Building was divided into three parts because the companies controlled by John J. Hill had to be kept separate to conform with the Sherman Antitrust Act? Source: ref 5 - "But the two railroads continued to exist as separate companies directing independently their day-to-day operations, and though they were to share the same office building beginning in January, 1916, walls and a central court divided the structure neatly down the center."
- ALT1:... that the Railroad and Bank Building was built with six miles (9.7 km) of pneumatic tubes used to send items anywhere within the building in under ten seconds? Source: ref 5 - "Communications between the two railroads and the bank were handled by a telephone system and a six-mile network of pneumatic tubes which allowed a message or document to be sent anywhere in the building in less than ten seconds."

New enough and long enough redirect conversion. The hook facts (actually cited to ref 4, not 5) check out with the source and are interesting. There was a paragraph missing an end ref; I have supplied this. No textual issues I see. Good to go. Sammi Brie (she/her • t • c) 18:15, 3 October 2021 (UTC)
