Editors Building

... that new employees of a business headquartered in the Editors Building (pictured) chose their office decorations from a 7,000-piece collection of historic Washington, D.C. memorabilia? Source: On the collection: "The Kiplinger Washington Collection is one of the largest private holdings of Washingtonia. The extensive collection of more than 7,000 items includes..." PDF source here On the decorations: "'When you went to work at Kiplinger, you'd go down to the archives with the curator,' Knight Kiplinger told me Monday at the Historical Society of Washington. 'They'd ask what you wanted for your office. Washington Monument? U.S. Capitol? Mount Vernon?'" Kelly, John (January 17, 2012). "Kiplinger isn't just a source of financial info, it's a trove of art". The Washington Post. p. 1AD. (source link is to a Proquest database, sorry)

New enough and long enough. Quite surprised to see this kind of Washington article from a user not named APK! Hook fact checks out in source. No textual or copyvio issues ("listed on the NRHP" throws Earwig for more of a loop than it should). Image is libre-licensed. Ready for the Main Page.

- @Sammi Brie: Thanks for your review! You probably won't be surprised to learn that APK was the reason I was able to create this article in the first place. DrOrinScrivello (talk) 12:55, 9 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]
