Talk:Williamsburgh Savings Bank Tower

Exterior sculpture
These guys list Chambellan as doing the exterior sculpture, as well as the interior stuff. Should we add that to the article, or. . . . .......... can we trust them? Carptrash (talk) 03:07, 20 January 2010 (UTC)


 * I'd trust them. The architectural sculpture inside and out seems consistent, though the "Lombard" friezes inside are more historicizing.--Wetman (talk) 15:24, 20 January 2010 (UTC)


 * Thanx for the pix; now I needn't feel I am missing an opportunity when doing other places instead of this one. From news reports I understand that the 14h Regiment Armory a mile south recently opened on weekends.  For now, it is only represented by my own File:Park Slope Armory jeh.JPG, snapped hastily when I was trying to get to Brooklyn Bridge before dark.  Incidentally I hope future good pictures go to Wikimedia Commons, where they can be better catalogued, geotagged, and used by other Wikipedias than just English.

GOCE copy edit notes
@Epicgenius a few notes:

 * I see you've already addressed the clarify tag.
 * Four continents are also represented in the windows' carved frames. The source says metal grilles, and doesn't mention windows. Any source say which four continents?
 * I'm not sure this sentence should be included, especially in the architecture section of the article: Despite the building's prominence, bank officials in 1989 could not recall anyone having ever jumped to their death from the observatory.


 * Thanks for the copy edit @voorts. I will address these two issues later.The factoid about no one jumping to their death is relatively minor, but I do think it can be included, because an observatory atop a major skyscraper in NYC without any deaths may be noteworthy. At most of the other NYC skyscrapers with observatories that I'm aware of, people have tried to jump off at least once. Epicgenius (talk) 17:23, 18 July 2023 (UTC)
