Talk:Demarest Building

Change in structure and appearance
I note that the 1901 picture differs vastly from the look of the picture in the article's present sole source. This needs to be explained. 7&amp;6=thirteen (☎) 20:23, 23 December 2015 (UTC)
 * It gruesome. What I met to say was that it grew some.--Doug Coldwell (talk) 23:11, 23 December 2015 (UTC)
 * You changed the pictures! What was the first one then?  7&amp;6=thirteen (☎) 14:17, 24 December 2015 (UTC)
 * Another building in New York City = The Babies’ Hospital building, at Lexington Avenue and 55th Street. I made a mistake in picking the wrong building originally, because I misread the caption SMALL BUT NOTABLE at Echoes of Carnegie Hall on Fifth Avenue. --Doug Coldwell (talk) 14:34, 24 December 2015 (UTC)

Location
The article locates it on the southeast corner of the intersection. Yet, in my Google Street View, I see the Demarest Building, or something eerily like it, on the southwest corner. Is this something else, or is this an error in the article?

It is on the Northeast corner of the Fifth Avenue and W33rd Street intersection, or the Southwest corner of its block ; the most common way to locate it would be in reference to the intersection, not the block.


 * Changed wording to ...on the northeast corner at Fifth Avenue and 33rd Street. --Doug Coldwell (talk) 19:52, 5 January 2016 (UTC)

Inline cites
The second paragraph of the 'Description' section and the second paragraph of the 'History' section both cite the NYT article Echoes of Carnegie Hall on Fifth Avenue by Christopher Gray. Is the online version significantly different from the print version cited because it is unclear how the source relates to the text it is supporting. Re the Description section prose, some of it can be verified by this NYT article

If i'm correct could you provide inline citations please? Thanks, Zindor (talk) 02:46, 22 May 2022 (UTC)

Construction year
Was the building constructed in 1889, 1890 or 1893? Part of me is inclined to believe it was constructed in 1889 (given that it's sourced in the body), but I just want to make sure. XtraJovial (talk) 03:01, 7 June 2022 (UTC)
 * I hate to bother you, but I hope you can address the construction year discrepancy above. XtraJovial (talk • contribs) 19:42, 30 July 2022 (UTC)
