Talk:William H. Allen (architect)

contention here too, location in Whitney Ave HD

Here, as in other articles I've edited, another editor is following to dispute everything he can, it seems. Including contending about a location, intersection of Lawrence & Whitney, which is in fact included in the Whitney Avenue Historic District if you look at the latter's map or NRHP document. I wrote that article, and am familiar with the facts. SarekOfVulcan, please stop taking the most confrontation action you can at every step. Raise a question at Talk. Try seriously to discuss things rather than combat. --doncram 22:21, 19 December 2011 (UTC)

There's a "WILLIAM ALLEN HOUSE, 3 stories, Queen Anne, 1897, gable roof, brick, slate. Photo #22." located at 357 Whitney Avenue, according to the Whitney Avenue HD's NRHP nom document. Is that a building designed by William H. Allen, and/or where William H. Allen lived? I imagine that is likely. It is a contributing building in the HD. --doncram 22:24, 19 December 2011 (UTC)

Indeed, Google maps shows that house is located at the corner of Lawrence. And the photo #22 shows a complicated house, pretty much like the Fyler-Hotchkiss House that is mentioned in the quote as being almost an exact duplicate. --doncram 22:28, 19 December 2011 (UTC)

In this edit, SarekOfVulcan removed my specific mention of the Whitney Avenue Historic District, which i restored in the next edit, because it was more than fully justified in the article and the discussion here. And then Sarek opened noticeboard dispute at Wikipedia:Administrators' noticeboard/Edit warring #User:Doncram reported by User:SarekOfVulcan (Result: ): . And still has not responded here. Way to go, Sarek. Your goal is to cause contention, right? --doncram 00:41, 20 December 2011 (UTC)
