Creating article
i added this information. it had been deleted from the JFK entry, which seems to have 10 million fingers on it and no one able to keep up with what is lost. Apologies for early lack of citations..i know more is needed but it is first step.BrandlandUSA 18:35, 12 November 2006 (UTC)

NRHP
I've rated the article as a "C" class article for the NRHP project. It's much improved, but perhaps leans too heavily on recent developments and could use discussion of its reception when built and influences on others. Acroterion (talk) 02:21, 12 August 2009 (UTC)
Yes... much harder to come by info on the original building... but will do.842U (talk) 13:08, 12 August 2009 (UTC)

@Epicgenius: Passed GA recently enough, long enough, and no issue was found with regards to copyvio, neutrality, or referencing. ALT1 is probably too long, ALT1 and the top hook are present in the article but can't verify the top hook in the given source (p.129 seems to be about something else but maybe I missed something. QPQ done. ALT1 good to go. HaEr48 (talk) 01:07, 30 August 2020 (UTC)
