- Oppose because the building is so obscured. I get how valuable and irreplaceable this is (it would be the perfect nom for my failed "valued pictures that actually means something" proposal...) but the fact "we can't do any better" does not make it feature-worthy.

- Oppose It is, obviously, a rare file, but with the, well, forest in front of it obscuring the view, it is not particularly asthetic. WackyWace converse | contribs 13:15, 13 September 2010 (UTC)
- Oppose I don’t think I’ve ever seen such a lousy composition of a building before. I wouldn’t have taken this picture when I was 7 years old. Greg L (talk) 16:57, 13 September 2010 (UTC)
- Oppose per J Milburn -- The historical value makes me want to like this picture much more, but there are just too many problems with the composition. Tim Pierce (talk) 00:59, 18 September 2010 (UTC)
- Oppose per J. Milburn. Spikebrennan (talk) 02:38, 20 September 2010 (UTC)
