Opening statement

In reviews I conduct, I may make small copyedits. These will only be limited to spelling and punctuation (removal of double spaces and such). I will only make substantive edits that change the flow and structure of the prose if I previously suggested and it is necessary. For replying to Reviewer comment, please use  Done,  Fixed,  Added,  Not done,  Doing..., or  Removed, followed by any comment you'd like to make. I will be crossing out my comments as they are redressed, and only mine. A detailed, section-by-section review will follow. —♠Vami_IV†♠ 10:54, 5 April 2020 (UTC)

@Vami IV: Thanks for the review. I have addressed all your comments above. epicgenius (talk) 15:01, 5 April 2020 (UTC)

Prose

• Footnote A should be moved to the end of of double-height ceiling.
  •  Done
• The facade of the ground through 12th stories
  • I have added an explanatory footnote saying that the ground story is the 1st floor. epicgenius (talk) 15:01, 5 April 2020 (UTC)
• Footnote B appears three times too many in "Facade". Put it where Footnote A is currently (this will cause them to switch letters).
  •  Done
• The facades of the eighth and ninth floors comprise an arcade with one arched window per bay. The tenth story contains one pair of sash windows per bay. These can be combined and together reduced.
  •  Done
• 14th story [...] eleventh and twelfth stories Pick and use one format.
  •  Done
• an emergency stair. staircase
  •  Done
• It was also used by many high-ranking generals of both the American and British armies. Redundant. Just meld the part about the British generals into the previous sentence.
  •  Done
• [27]:66, 96 This is the only citation of its kind in the article.
  •  Removed I put the page numbers directly in the citation.
• Move the picture in "Washington Building" to the right. It's better to have the text directly beneath the header.
  •  Done
• Another lost Footnote B in "IMM renovation"
  •  Removed
• The insurance company Allstate acquired 1 Broadway through foreclosure in 1992; at the time, the building's owners were facing financial difficulties. Expand on this if you can.
  • Well, I can't really expand too much. The building's owners went bankrupt and were foreclosed upon. Not too many other details about this transaction. epicgenius (talk) 15:01, 5 April 2020 (UTC)
    • Ah. In that case, flip the sentence around. Owner goes extinct, and then Allstate swoops in to snatch up the deed. –♠Vami_IV†♠ 15:12, 5 April 2020 (UTC)
      •  Done
• Kenyon & Kenyon won that lawsuit. Did anything come of it?
  • Yes. Basically, Kenyon & Kenyon were given the right to be extended a lease for the remaining space, and Logany was precluded from building penthouses (which was the subject of the lawsuit). epicgenius (talk) 15:01, 5 April 2020 (UTC)
    • Ah. Now, how was Midtown Equities able to not get sued by K&K? How on the rocks was the latter by then, or did ME offer them a deal they couldn't refuse? –♠Vami_IV†♠ 15:12, 5 April 2020 (UTC)
      • @Vami IV: Well, as mentioned in the article, K&K wasn't actually the owner, but rather the main tenant. The owner sold the building to ME, at the same time K&K was merging with another law firm. That last detail is not too relevant to this article though. epicgenius (talk) 15:22, 5 April 2020 (UTC)
