... that the construction of 140 Broadway(pictured) in New York City's Financial District was so quiet that a nearby office worker said his lawnmower made more noise? Source: NY Times 1966
ALT1:... that Ada Louise Huxtable called 140 Broadway(pictured) "not only one of [the] buildings I admire most in New York, but that I admire most anywhere"? Source: New York 1960 : architecture and urbanism between the Second World War and the Bicentennial. p. 180
ALT2:... that after 140 Broadway's air-conditioning system was dumped into a tank, its 10,000 workers went without air conditioning for weeks until scuba divers retrieved it? Source: NY Times 1984
Overall: interesting read, i think ALT0 is the hookiest and best to use, if ALT2 was used then it should be changed to "that after parts of 140 Broadway's air-conditioning system were dumped into a tank, 10,000 workers went without air conditioning for weeks until scuba divers retrieved them?" because otherwise it seems the whole system went in the tank Mujinga (talk) 19:37, 9 May 2020 (UTC)
