Talk:John J. Glessner House

2017-03-19 ~ Objectives for this article
To meet or exceed the standards set by other historic houses in Chicago. See

Category:Houses on the National Register of Historic Places in Chicago

To set a standard for all the houses in: http://chicagohousemuseums.org/

Some of the more comprehensive Chicago historic house articles to compare and contrast:


 * Emil Bach House
 * Henry B. Clarke House
 * Francis J. Dewes House
 * Heller House
 * Hull House
 * Julia C. Lathrop Homes
 * Madlener House
 * Nickerson House
 * Harriet F. Rees House
 * Robie House
 * Theurer-Wrigley House
 * J. J. Walser Jr. residence

2017-03-12 ~ Infobox updates
Items that could be added or edited include:
 * founder?
 * accreditation?
 * number of visitors per year?
 * collection? approx xx objects
 * Area: sf in galleries
 * public transit << this seems to be a biggie. All major museums have entries here. See museum links below for example. Please help.
 * Type is currently set to 'Historic house museum'. Could any other category be added such as 'Art museum'?

2017-03-12 ~ External Links

 * Fixed broken Historic American Buildings Survey link
 * Added new links to CAF, Issuu, 3D Warehouse, CHM

Any other good external links to be added?

2017-03-07 ~ Infobox
The current infobox uses the Infobox Museum and Infobox NRHP templates Good examples of this usage are found here:


 * https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Metropolitan_Museum_of_Art
 * https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Solomon_R._Guggenheim_Museum
 * https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Field_Museum_of_Natural_History
 * https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/American_Museum_of_Natural_History

All of the above embed the NRHP template in the Museum template. All place location data now in the museum section - though I do feel it would be better placed in the NRHP section.

2017-03-06 ~ Ongoing minor edits
Over the past week or so I have been in the process of adding links, references, categories and infobox data to this article. It's helping me learn Wikipedia style and format. I hope I've done nothing controversial - so far. ;-)
