Infobox
- The hyphen in the address field can be replaced by an en dash (–)
- Clinton & Russell's article does not have the & symbol in it
Lead
- "The building served as the headquarters of the Munson Steamship Line from 1904 until 1921, and the company owned the building from 1919 to 1937." - repetition of "building"
Site
- The second paragraph does not need to begin with exactly the same phrase as the first paragraph
Design
- "1 Wall Street Court was designed by Clinton and Russell in the Renaissance Revival style.[9][11][3]" - refs in numerical order please
Done
- "1 Wall Street Court is one of a few buildings in Lower Manhattan that are shaped like a flatiron," - any specific number of buildings?
- Without going into original research, there's the Flatiron Building itself, and 1 William Street to a lesser extent. However, the sources don't specify a number. epicgenius (talk) 14:01, 29 October 2020 (UTC)
Facade
- "The windows on each side are arranged into bays, with six bays each on Pearl and Beaver Streets and three on the rounded corner." - close repetition of "bays"
- Wikilink cornice and revolving doors for the uninitiated
Done
- Wikilink fire escape and mezzanine
Done
Features
- Wikilink vestibule to Vestibule (architecture)
Done
- " As built, the building also had two 300 horsepower (220 kW) boilers" - 1 Wall Street Court
Done
- "One magazine said upon the building's completion that 1 Wall Street Court contained possibly" - which magazine?
Construction
- Clinton & Russell article's does not feature the & symbol
- "One such project was headed by the Century Realty Company," - led
Done
- "The Remington Construction Company was hired as the contractor. The building was planned to cost $600,000." - consider merging these two sentences together?
Done
- "During construction, some of the workers went on strike," - why did the workers go on strike?
- I'm not exactly sure. I didn't find sources that said why. epicgenius (talk) 14:01, 29 October 2020 (UTC)
Munson Line use
- "Frank Munson bought the Beaver Building in July 1919," - who was Frank Munson?
- Also I cannot see any explicit mention of Frank Munson in the source provided
Fixed I replaced it with the Munson Steamship Line, which is in the source. epicgenius (talk) 14:01, 29 October 2020 (UTC)
Cocoa Exchange use
Later use
- "British developers London & Leeds acquired the Beaver Building, at which point about 70% of the space was vacant." - the percent symbol is to be avoided per MOS:PERCENT
- "London & Leeds renamed it One Wall Street Court and renovated the interior. The lobby, elevators, and electrical and HVAC systems were refurbished." - I think these two sentences can be merged together
Done
- "The building was purchased by Cocoa Partners in 1994." - Maybe expand briefly what Cocoa Partners is?
Done I think it's just a holding company for the actual owners, as is common in real estate here. epicgenius (talk) 14:01, 29 October 2020 (UTC)
- "the commercial space was occupied by a "massive store" called" - think the text in quotation marks can be reworded
Done
Critical reception
- "The writer Herbert Croly was one of the proponents of such decoration." - what magazine was Croly writing for at the time?
- "1 Wall Street Court was made a New York City designated landmark on February 13, 1996." - who gave out the designation exactly?
References
- Reference 35 "The Planning and Construction of High Office-buildings" the publisher "J Wiley & sons" the word "sons" can begin with a capital letter
Done
- Although not deemed unreliable or possibly unsafe, I think Reference 55 can be replaced by a higher quality source where possible that states that a sushi restaurant was opened at the building's base in 2005
- Sadly, this was the only source I could find about this, even on ProQuest. epicgenius (talk) 14:01, 29 October 2020 (UTC)′
Overall, a nicely written article. Will put on hold to allow the nominator to address or query the points raised above. MWright96 (talk) 10:36, 29 October 2020 (UTC)
