5x expanded by Epicgenius (talk). Self-nominated at 14:57, 27 August 2020 (UTC).
Another great expansion from Epicgenius, adequately verifiable, image is freely licenced by Beyond My Ken (nice!). Have to AGF on the hook as the New York Times citation is subscription only, though I can see Cass Gilbert mentioned in the basic rubric that I'm allowed to view. One minor copyvio-related niggle, the sentence starting "The brickwork, red flecked with blue..." appears to be a straight lift off the source; that'll need fixing.

- @Ritchie333: Thanks for the review, I really appreciate it. (I took a picture this past weekend, but BMK's are much better, so that's what I decided to go with.) I've fixed the copyright issue in question, and also added a QPQ review. epicgenius (talk) 19:06, 27 August 2020 (UTC)
In that case, we are good to go. Ritchie333 (talk) (cont) 19:10, 27 August 2020 (UTC)
