 * Comment - Re hook & alt 1: The article lead says "the second such designation recognizing a site important in American LGBT history after the Stonewall Inn in New York City's Greenwich Village". The ref cited does not seem to support that. The only mention of the Stonewall Inn in ref 1 mentions National Historic Landmark status, but does not mention that Henry Gerber House is the second LGBT history designation. The ref seems to contradict the article when it says: "For example, some properties already designated National Historic Landmarks for other reasons have a connection with LGBTQ history, such as Philip Johnson’s Glass House or the home of Frances Willard, longtime director of the Woman’s Christian Temperance Union". 109.79.174.71 (talk) 22:40, 16 September 2015 (UTC)
 * I have removed that last clause, as upon further reflection, you're correct (I believe the unspoken distinction was that, while those sites have connections to gay history that was not the primary reason for nominating and recognizing them; however, in the case of Stonewall, it was. But it's not stated explicitly). Daniel Case (talk) 19:24, 17 September 2015 (UTC)

Good to go with ALT2. , I don't know if it's because of edits you made in regards to the above comment, or if I'm just not seeing what I should, but I really couldn't find the original hook and ALT1 in either the article or source. But we can go with ALT2, no problem with that one. Sorry this nomination got hung up the way it did with the questionable first "review". — Maile (talk) 22:50, 22 September 2015 (UTC)
