Talk:Reed and Stem

Consensus for the treatment of inconsistent and unclear material
The Reed and Stem article: I believe the last paragraph contains certain references that are inconsistent and unclear. Specifically, those references pertaining to a clock tower of the Northern Pacific structure built in 1901. Upon reading the paragraph, I think my concern will become apparent. Assuming you concur, the question then becomes, how to fix it. Thank you.

Yakima, Washington, circa 1912: The Northern Pacific built at least three depots in Yakima. The first when they began construction across Stampede Pass circa 1884, the second, larger wood structure with what was to have been a large clock tower in 1901, and the final depot in a style similar to that in nearby Ellensburg, Washington, circa 1912. The last was likely the Reed and Stem design. Ironically, the 1901 depot was designed by another noted architect -- Cass Gilbert. This structure was later relocated to another part of town, and converted into an apartment building. As of 2010, it was still standing in Yakima, minus the clock tower. The Northern Pacific never installed clocks in the tower, instead they used their large Monad trademark (the ying-yang), adopted by the road in 1896. In addition to the 1901 depot at Yakima, Gilbert also designed the Northern Pacific's depots at Little Falls, Minnesota, Bismarck, North Dakota, and Fargo, North Dakota.

Orphaned references in Reed and Stem
I check pages listed in Category:Pages with incorrect ref formatting to try to fix reference errors. One of the things I do is look for content for orphaned references in wikilinked articles. I have found content for some of Reed and Stem's orphans, the problem is that I found more than one version. I can't determine which (if any) is correct for this article, so I am asking for a sentient editor to look it over and copy the correct ref content into this article.

Reference named "nris": From Sandpoint (Amtrak station):  From Grand Central Terminal Park Avenue Viaduct:  From Morris Park (IRT Dyre Avenue Line):  From Fort Yellowstone:  From Staples (Amtrak station):  From National Register of Historic Places: National Register Information System, National Register of Historic Places, National Park Service. Retrieved October 11, 2011. From University of Minnesota Old Campus Historic District:  

I apologize if any of the above are effectively identical; I am just a simple computer program, so I can't determine whether minor differences are significant or not. AnomieBOT ⚡ 11:39, 5 July 2012 (UTC)

Troy NY Union Station
I humbly suggest that the Troy, NY Union Station be added to the list of major Reed & Stem commissions. I do not have enough information at hand to write an informed addendum, as it is not clear to me whether Reed & Stem designed only the interior spaces, or the entire building. However, the interior was a worthy Beaux Arts effort so I think it ought to be considered a major commission. Among other features, the interior included a large clock flanked by classical figures. 50.202.191.69 (talk) 15:49, 24 March 2015 (UTC)

This summary from the Columbia University library lays out the series of name changes and mergers of the firm in detail; this info should be incorporated into the article at some point. Neutralitytalk 04:50, 17 July 2016 (UTC)

Reed and Stem / WASA Studio
There should be a separate aticle about Reed and Stem. A redirect to WASA studio is not the best solution, because of different name, different partners, different works. --Arch2all (talk) 12:00, 10 October 2018 (UTC)
