  • Meets DYK requirements for length and recent creation of new article. No copyvios detected and Commons image has appropriate free license. Very well written and informative article. The hooks are properly sourced and verified (I have NY Times Machine access but the general reader may not). Personally, I like the Alt1 hook the best, especially since the NY Times source headline is the "...Secret Kept 18 Years"; if this hook is chosen by the promoter, they may wish to add, "...were secretly remade...".  JGHowes  talk 23:46, 15 February 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Congrats on the TFA, @Epicgenius! Looking at the wikilinks for "classical revival", in the lead it goes to Neoclassical architecture, which is what is meant by "classical revival" here, but in the infobox and the body, it goes to Revivalism (architecture), a much broader article that isn't as useful. Further, we have the more specific Greek Revival architecture, which if it fits (I haven't looked into it enough to say) would be a better option per MOS:SPECIFICLINK. {{u|Sdkb}}talk 06:05, 24 January 2022 (UTC)[reply]

@Sdkb, thanks for the heads up. I've changed the link (I don't know if Greek Revival is exactly the style used here, as it does have some non-Greek influences as well). – Epicgenius (talk) 13:17, 24 January 2022 (UTC)[reply]
Most specifically, it's in the (American) Beaux-Arts style. (It's not Greek Revival.) Ham II (talk) 16:13, 24 January 2022 (UTC)[reply]
