Overall: Morogris (✉ • ✎) 17:58, 31 December 2023 (UTC) All hooks check out, but the original hook is my favorite. Article is new/long enough, is of great quality (I would say GA quality already, if not a good candidate for FA). There are no copyright violations. I spot checked several sources other than the hook and attribution is done correctly. Image has appropriate licenses. QPQ is done. There are no tags in the article and everything is sourced correctly. Your articles are an inspiration for my work on US landmarks - thanks for all you do!
