Interior

The lead sentence for the Interiors paragraph does not make sense / confusing > Office space ceiling height vs. atrium??. One did not replace the other: "The Hearst Magazine Building initially contained office space with 11-foot (3.4 m) ceilings, which was replaced with a 95-foot-tall (29 m) atrium when the tower was built" Dogears (talk) 13:58, 8 July 2024 (UTC)

@Dogears, thanks for bringing this up. It is indeed the case that the atrium replaced the office space, and that the office space had 11-foot ceilings. The atrium did not replace the ceilings; it replaced the office space. Perhaps this can be worded better, so I'll rephrase that shortly. Epicgenius (talk) 13:14, 9 July 2024 (UTC)
