I could not find "The Rhinelander Mansion" nor "The Gertrude Rhinelander Waldo Mansion" in theLists of National Historic Landmarks. Is it listed under a different name? The article mentions that it was "purchased by a nearby church in the late 1960s".. maybe it's listed under some church name (I have seen some). Am I looking in the wrong place?

In researching this forGertrude Rhinelander Waldo, I found
If I read them correctly, the2010 article says that Mrs Waldo bought the property at 72nd and Madison in 1882 and started construction in 1894, while the1915 story says she inherited real estate in 1882 and sold most of it in 1896 to buy the lot and start the new mansion. Can anyone disentangle the elements? (I think that more than one piece of property is involved.)

Constructed from 1894 to 1898, it was designed by Alexander Mackintosh of the architectural firm of Kimball & Thompson.Might be personal preference, but I feel like "Built between 1894 and 1898" has a better flow. 750h+ | Talk 13:51, 18 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Gertrude Rhinelander Waldo bought the site in 1882 but did not develop it for more than a decade.change her full name to her last name, as you’ve mentioned her previously. 750h+ | Talk 00:14, 19 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]
The building became a Ralph Lauren menswear store in 2010.maybe link it to the Ralph Lauren brand? Might also be personal preference though. 750h+ | Talk 00:17, 19 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]
These include 888 Madison Avenue, a 22,000-square-foot (2,000 m2) store completed in 2010 as Ralph Lauren's secondary flagship;[9] it is designed in a Beaux-Arts style with a limestone facade and marble interiors,[10][11] The Rhinelander Mansion shares the block with St. James' Episcopal Church immediately to the south, 36 East 72nd Street to the east, and 740 Park Avenue to the southeast.Should "The Rhinelander Mansion" have a capital "The"? This sentence might be a bit too long too. 750h+ | Talk 13:51, 19 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]
The Gertrude Rhinelander Waldo House at 867 Madison Avenue is four and a half stories tall.You've already mentioned the fact it is at 867 Madison Avenue. Do we need to mention this again? 750h+ | Talk 13:52, 19 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]

In the basement was a large bowling alley.Sounds a bit weirdly phrased. I feel like "A large bowling alley was in the basement." 750h+ | Talk 13:52, 19 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]
The first floor was a large center hall extending one-third the width of the Madison Avenue frontage, with mahogany paneling on the walls and ceiling.LinkMahogany, if that's right. 750h+ | Talk 13:52, 19 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]
News media announced in October 1920…change this to “The news media announced in October 1920..” 750h+ | Talk 16:07, 19 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]
The first-floor spaces were divided and leased to various tenants in the 1960s and 1970s.should there be a dash between first and floor? 750h+ | Talk 16:07, 19 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Nothing from me, this is fine.
The prose is excellent. So are the images. The images included are appropriately licensed, so this is animage pass.
Happy to pass thesource review.
No comments left, happy to pass this article for GA status. Great job on it.
Recently, a cedilla wasadded to the wordfacade, citing the fact that our article on this topic is atFaçade.
However, I don't think this word needs a cedilla, perMOS:ENGVAR. According to our article on the topic, both facade and façade are acceptable, although the latter may be difficult for users to type. Additionally, theMerriam-Webster dictionary cites "facade", without a cedilla, as being more common in the U.S. than the variant with the cedilla. I'd also like to note that many (if not most) articles on NY buildings already do not use a cedilla in the word "facade", and thus, not using the cedilla would make this page consistent with similar articles. –Epicgenius (talk)23:37, 3 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]
