ALT2:... that the two automobile showrooms comprising New York City's 224 West 57th Street(pictured) were designed to complement a now-demolished church? Source: Landmarks p. 2
Massively expanded and nominated within date, very well illustrated and adequate length. Exceptional references. ALT1 is a more tempting hook. Thank you for another great article.

Epicgenius, This was a very well written article and I am happy to say there was nothing I can see that wouldn't make this an automatic pass. All of the references are formatted correctly, there are no spelling errors, everything is sourced, and all the pictures are properly attributed. Congrats!
