Talk:Bates House

more items
Hey I am surprised there was not a disambiguation page here before (was there one, but it was deleted?). Thank you very much, User:This Works Too, for creating this disambiguation page, which is definitely needed. I notice its creation because I was given notification of its linking to Daisy Bates House, an article which i guess i created.

In the search bar, typing in "Bates House" suggests some other alternatives not yet in this page:
 * Bates House (Bedford, Kentucky)
 * Bates House of Turkey
 * Bates House and Outbuildings, no that was Batts House and Outbuildings instead

It happens that I've created a lot of disambiguation pages about houses in the past and have often found it useful to identify more items using a tool to look up National Register of Historic Places listings. I dunno, do you know about it already? Anyhow NRHP-listed houses are almost always notable and will get articles written for them, if there isn't one already. That tool suggests considering, at least:
 * Bates Building (Cincinnati, Ohio) ✅, added Bates Building as a "See also"
 * Bates Cobblestone Farmhouse, Middlesex, New York]]
 * Bates House (Bedford, Kentucky)
 * Bates Log House, Lexington, Kentucky, NRHP-listed in Fayette County
 * Bates Mill Historic District, Lewiston, Maine
 * Bates Park Historic District, Des Moines, Iowa
 * Bates Round Barn, Greene, New York
 * Bates Tourist Court, Marshall, Arkansas
 * Bates Well Ranch, Ajo, Arizona
 * Asa Bates Memorial Chapel, Fairfield Center, Maine
 * Cyrus Bates House, Henderson, New York
 * Daisy Bates House, Little Rock, Arkansas
 * John M. and Elizabeth Bates House No. 1, Portland, Oregon
 * John M. and Elizabeth Bates House No. 2, Lake Oswego, Oregon, NRHP-listed in Clackamas County
 * John M. and Elizabeth Bates House No. 3, Lake Oswego, Oregon, NRHP-listed in Clackamas County
 * John M. and Elizabeth Bates House No. 4, Lake Oswego, Oregon
 * Levin Bates House, Buechel, Kentucky, NRHP-listed in Jefferson County
 * Martin M. Bates Farmstead, Richmond, Vermont
 * Rufus and Flora Bates House, Ithaca, New York
 * Sherman and Merlene Bates House, Hardy, Arkansas
 * Sherman Bates House, Hardy, Arkansas
 * William Bates House, Greenville, South Carolina
 * Bates-Englehardt Mansion, St. Johnsville, New York
 * Bates-Sheppard House, Cuero, Texas, [[National Register of Historic Places listings in DeWitt County, Texas|NRHP-listed in Dewitt County
 * Bates-Tanner Farm, Bothell, Washington, NRHP-listed in Snohomish County
 * Bates-Cockrem House, Sandusky, Ohio, NRHP-listed in Sandusky
 * Bates-Geers House, Plato, Missouri
 * Bates-Hendricks House, Indianapolis, Indiana
 * Bates-Seller House, Portland, Oregon
 * Elbert-Bates House, Albia, Iowa
 * Grand-Bates Suburb Historic District, St. Louis, Missouri
 * Judge Bates House, Houston, Mississippi
 * Richardson-Bates House, Oswego, New York

The tool suggested more, but I edited down the above list already. Some won't be right to keep. About the hyphenated ones, I think those should be included because a hyphenated A-B House -type name usually means that both A House and B House have been commonly used, too. And places like "Bates Building" and "Bates Farm" should be included directly or mentioned in a "See also" type way.

User:This Works Too, I wonder, how did you find the many that you did? And what do you think about these, and thanks again! --Doncram (talk) 03:58, 17 April 2020 (UTC)


 * I just searched "Bates House" on Wikipedia and added the first few that came up; the issue is that I was writing about a house typically called "Bate's House" (with an apostrophe) but when moving it around on my text document and sandbox I just started calling it Fenton-Bate House because that was less confusing and it IS a legitimate alternate name for the house. Add all of them if you are able :) This Works Too (talk) 04:33, 17 April 2020 (UTC)
