Article is long enough, nominated within 7 days of creation, well-written, and adequately cited. No pings on Earwigs for copyvio or close paraphrasing. ALT2 is probably the most interesting potential hook – the building seems like it's had a relatively unremarkable life otherwise. Ping me when you've completed your QPQ.

- @Morgan695: Thanks for the review. The building has been fairly overlooked over the years, which is a shame, but fortunately it's now an official NYC landmark. In any case, I've done a QPQ now. Epicgenius (talk) 16:22, 9 June 2021 (UTC)
