Anne Hathaway Cottage replica in South Dakota

... that the Anne Hathaway Cottage is the only thatched roof building in South Dakota? Source: Bauske, Gloria (September 4, 2000). "Thatched roof completes cottage". Argus Leader. Wessington Springs. p. 2B. Retrieved February 26, 2024 – via Newspapers.com.

- Comment: QPQ pending. The image is in the public domain, taken and uploaded by a Wikipedian. Not sure if ALT0 is too misleading, as although it is not the original, that is the official name of the cottage; the NRHP calls it the Shay House, so that can be used instead if necessary. I did check to make sure that it's still the only thatched roof building in South Dakota since the 2000 source, and I can find nothing to suggest it isn't. This is such an unusual construction for SD it almost certainly would have some news coverage because it needs a specialist. The official website still has this claim, although of course that's WP:PRIMARY and they will have tourism incentive to keep claiming that.

Created by TCMemoire (talk). Self-nominated at 19:53, 27 February 2024 (UTC). Post-promotion hook changes for this nom will be logged at Template talk:Did you know nominations/Shakespeare Garden and Anne Hathaway Cottage; consider watching this nomination, if it is successful, until the hook appears on the Main Page.[reply]

Interesting topic! New, long, well written and well cited (see one thing below). Image good, hope Ammodramus knows their nice photos have been used in such a nice article. Both hooks work; AGF nominator's explanation of why 2000 is recent enough to use present tense, and my brief search didn't turn up anything to the contrary. @TCMemoire: Literally two notes:
- I might be misreading, but where does the source confirm Strapwork on the outside walls gives the illusion of the Tudor period's hallmark timber framing?
- QPQ still wanted

@Hameltion: D'oh! Forgot to link the QPQ. It is still pending, as the nominator's own QPQ stalled out for a bit but looks like it might get passed very soon. Once that happens, I will pass theirs for my own QPQ. I will ping you here once that happens.

The NRHP nomination form mentions strapwork briefly on page 2, but I cannot anything in my sources tieing this explicitly into Tudor architecture so I have removed it to avoid any WP:OR. Sometimes when I write these architectural articles I forget what is considered common knowledge. (I do remember I looked everywhere to try to figure out what the actual strapwork is made of, as if you look at photos it certainly isn't wood, but I turned up nothing. But I digress.) – T C Memoire 21:44, 12 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks, all good. No need to ping later, QPQs don't need to be pass/fail to be valid. Hameltion (talk | contribs) 21:51, 12 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]

@Hameltion and TCMemoire: The source in the article says "on what likely is the only existing thatched roof cottage in South Dakota." likely is the waffle. So ALT1 checks out. Bruxton (talk) 03:43, 1 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]
