  • ... that A. R. "Babe" Schwartz fought to have the Westgate Tower (pictured) condemned in the Texas Legislature, only to move into the building himself fifteen years later? Source: "When he was in the Legislature, Babe Schwartz of Galveston fought long and hard against plans to build the Westgate Tower ... . But in 1966 the Westgate got built anyway. Fifteen years later, after losing his race for re-election to the Texas Senate, Schwartz and his wife moved there themselves." (Bell, Brenda (October 13, 2012). "Westgate Tower may become Austin's youngest landmark building, with the most tax breaks". Austin American-Statesman.)

Overall: Article created Nov 9th, nominated Nov 12th. Length >1500 characters, C-class article. Not previously on DYK. Article sourcing good. Well-written and neutral. Per Earwig's copyvio detector, highest overlap was 6.5% with no copyvio upon manual inspection. Hook is referenced within the article and at source. Hook is interesting and available to a large audience. Edited the hook to add spaces between the abbreviations in Schwartz's name. Unclear if comma after "Legislature" is necessary, but it's probably fine. Hook is <200 characters. Picture is freely licensed (taken by Wikipedian). Picture is from the article's infobox. Resized picture from 120x133 to 100x100; picture is clear at 100px. QPQ complete. Good to go! ―Biochemistry🙴 23:22, 16 November 2017 (UTC)
