R/T, made copy edits:

  • Change the number sign into "No." in the lead.
  • "Since about 1920 the Gatchell Post": should there be a comma after 1920 (genuinely asking)?
  • "Historically significant as a historical reminder": probably don't need the last "historical".
  • Token book source (mentioned on page 726), might be nice to incorporate, database source too.

Purty house; nice article. On hold for a fortnight. 23W 05:43, 26 January 2015 (UTC)Reply

@23W: I did the fixes as requested. For the 3rd bullet point I dropped the first instance because the "historical reminder" is the emphasis. The first instance of historically can be to "was or continues to be" whereas the other is more of the state of being. I added the RI listing, but kept the NRIS book listing out because it is just an older version of what was cited already. I like the designs of the William R. Walker & Son buildings. Though Henry Hobson Richardson works are nice as well! These articles on such buildings and work is one of the few easily accessible overviews of rare architecture styles and civic pride and I was glad to have done them. There are only three ward halls remaining in the state and you seen the Fifth Ward room, but I got almost nothing on the Cato Hill Historic District one. Thanks for reviewing.

  @ChrisGualtieri: You're welcome! Yeah, these articles are deffo neat, hopefully they'll inspire more coverage of the buildings. Passing. 23W 00:10, 27 January 2015 (UTC)Reply
