Development

Thank you for your comment. In a few days, I shall create a third paragraph for the lead section, to summarize the key points from the following sections. Also, I shall add a concluding section to cite a form of national recognition that this house received in The Octagon Fad, 1958. Please let me know if you have further comments or suggestions.WendyJWS (talk) 11:36, 19 January 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Coordinates and infobox

Hi, I tried adding coordinates within an infobox. Coordinates should be included in the article, although using an infobox is optional and I don't mind if the infobox is kept or deleted. The coordinates I obtain by trying the 99 Chestnut Street address in Google maps, then switching to Google satellite view, then zeroing in on what I think is the house. However I might have zeroed in on the wrong building...I took the rear-most of the two buildings that I could see in satellite view, as it looked larger, but that might be the carriage house, instead. Then with cursor positioned, I right-clicked and selected "What's here" to see the coordinates which i could copy-paste.

Map all coordinates using OpenStreetMap

Download coordinates as:

To see the two locations, click on "Map all coordinates in Google" and then switch to satellite view.

Out of the two locations here, which is the right one, for coordinates to point to the main house? --do ncr am 15:44, 20 January 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Thank you. Your coordinates are well within the range found by the author using the NGS coordinate conversion beta program as well as standard cell phone GPS applications. Your method was a good double check. Thanks again.WendyJWS (talk) 12:01, 23 January 2017 (UTC)[reply]
