Strecker Memorial Laboratory

[edit]

(Copied from Strecker Memorial Laboratory). Is this really a "fake building"? When I think of "fake building" I think of something like 58 Joralemon Street which appears to be a house but in reality is a facade blocking view of a tunnel. But the Strecker Memorial Laboratory is a building, it has simply been demolished, reconstructed, and repurposed. Mokadoshi (talk) 04:32, 6 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]

I agree with you. Some of these entries that are well referenced do not pass a simple smell test. Holland tunnel ventilation buildings might be another case. They were purpose-built to be ventilation buildings without any intention to disguise to be another form of buildings. I think the Business Insider article is the one that dilutes this subject by including too many buildings. I would second a removal if there is a consensus.
