Evaluate the article
The lead section opens with a variety of good information that tells you exactly what the article is about. It provides a very brief overview of the history of the museum. There is no information missing from the lead section and yet does not contain too many details.

The content is all relevant to the building and its architect. The content appears up to date including but does not say what happened after it was registered in 2006. The content of the article is mainly focused on the building itself both in the physical aspect and emotional aspect. The article also discusses how the importance of the building changes over time such as its importance as a bank versus a government building.

The tone remains neutral throughout the entire article. There are no claims to a particular claims or persuasion tactics in the article. This article flows very smoothly and lays out a clear timeline without bringing in personal viewpoints or viewpoints of outside parties.

One primary source is the museums website which has much of the same information as the Wikipedia page. The other sources are books that do not have available hyperlinks on the site. The books are also from at least 15 years ago. The authors of this book are mostly female and all white. No one from a minority group is used as a source.

The article is written in a very easy to read format. It flows very well and is easy to read with no grammatical errors. The article is broken down into small sections which prevented an overloading the amount of data at one time. Each section is very clear with a good header and sub headers if needed.

There are two images used in the article. One which shows the outside of the museum and one that shows where in Australia the building is located. This helps the reader of the article get a visual of the building in its modern-day look. The map also helps readers who are not familiar with the area visualize where it is. Both images adhere to the copyright regulations.

There are no conversations taking place on the talk page. The article is rated C-class, low-importance.

Overall, this article is well-developed with many strengths that include clear information and easy flow. The article could be improved with an update on its status. This could include whether it is still open, if visitors can go, or if the building is still in good condition. The article could also be improved with updates to online sources if any are available.
