1552 Broadway

... that Ethel Barrymore, Marilyn Miller, Mary Pickford, and Rosa Ponselle have been standing at 1552 Broadway since 1929? Source: F.Y.I., but two things here. It's the statues that have been standing in niches at 1552 Broadway. And technically the statues were removed briefly in the 2010s for renovation
- ALT1: ... that soon after 1552 Broadway was built, Ethel Barrymore, Marilyn Miller, Mary Pickford, and Rosa Ponselle were given as a gift to New York City? Source: Same as above
- ALT2: ... that one facade of 1552 Broadway contains huge screens facing Times Square, while the other was designed with stone statues of actresses? Source: "I. Miller Building" (PDF). New York City Landmarks Preservation Commission. June 29, 1999. If an image is used for this alt, then I would prefer File:Times Sq Nov 2021 125.jpg be used instead.
- ALT3: ... that a shoe store in New York City was designed with stone statues of actresses on one side and huge screens on the other? Source: Same as above. If an image is used for this alt, then I would prefer File:Times Sq Nov 2021 125.jpg be used instead.
- ALT4: ... that the stone statues for the I. Miller shoe store on Times Square were selected based on a nationwide contest in the U.S.? Source: "Name Stage Favorites; I. Miller Concern's Patrons Hold Popularity Contest". The New York Times. September 6, 1927.

Created by Epicgenius (talk). Self-nominated at 14:10, 7 December 2021 (UTC).[reply]

Epicgenius, thank you for another phenomenal submission to DYK. I approve this nomination for DYK because the article is new enough (6 December), more than exceeds readable prose size, has not been previously featured on the main page, contains appropriate inline citations to verifiable references, and contains no close paraphrasing per the earwig tool. A QPQ has also been completed. All hooks are appropriate; however, I prefer the first hook for DYK. Also, the image is confirmed CC BY-SA 4.0. – West Virginian (talk) 15:22, 8 December 2021 (UTC)[reply]
