Dearborn Homes
[edit]- ... that the Chicago Housing Authority' renovation of the Dearborn Homes housing project includes adding neo-Georgian quoins and ball-topped gables to the brick high-rises?

Date and length (just) are OK. Article is referenced and has appropriate tone. Slight problem in that I can't find the word "pediments" in the key citation from the Chicago Tribune. I suppose you could take that section out of the hook. NB this is my first review so I'm sorry if I've missed anything. Tigerboy1966 13:01, 18 March 2012 (UTC)
- Thanks for reviewing it! Well spotted. He actually calls them gables. The passage is:
and it is here in the Google Books version. That version also has a pic. So shall I say gables or stick with pediments? (Also I owe a quid pro quo review for this nomination. I'll note here when I've done it.) Yngvadottir (talk) 15:19, 18 March 2012 (UTC)So he gave the previously flat-roofed buildings triangle-shaped, limestone gables, topped by balls that etch a profile against the sky. Brick was removed from the corners and replaced with corner details called quoins.
- I would change the hook and the corresponding sentence in the article. I would then be happy to "pass" it (if that's the right term). Tigerboy1966 15:52, 18 March 2012 (UTC)
- OK, changed in both places (and I checked that Gable is not a DAB page). I will do a quid pro quo as soon as I can . . . thanks in advance for the check mark/tick :-) Yngvadottir (talk) 16:01, 18 March 2012 (UTC)
