The article saw a recent expansion within the DYK criteria, is long enough, and is adequately referenced, though I would like to see a reference at the end of the "location" section, but that small issue alone shouldn't bar this from being included on the Main Page. The hook is interesting and formatted properly. The image provided from the article is freely licensed and should show up fine if featured on the Main Page. QPQ has been done. This should be good to go, but please provide a reference for the nearby structures if you can. Nice work, ❯❯❯ Mccunicano ☕️ 02:49, 1 June 2021 (UTC)[reply]

@Mccunicano: Thanks for the review. No citations as such exist mentioning the nearby buildings. I just added the buildings in that area with an article... Saha ❯❯❯ Stay safe 17:51, 3 June 2021 (UTC)[reply]

A map of the area that denotes the buildings mentioned would suffice as a reference for the statement. Best, ❯❯❯ Mccunicano ☕️ 02:01, 4 June 2021 (UTC)[reply]

inconsistent timeline[edit]

The article says:

It was owned and built by a Jewish business magnate, David Joseph Ezra in 1910.

But the linked article says Ezra died in 1886. Was it instead his grandson, David Elias Ezra? --Delirium (talk) 08:15, 22 June 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Most of the articles state "Sir David", so it is likely the grandson. Froggerlaura ^ribbit 20:20, 22 June 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Yes. I linked the wrong article, as the names are very similar. Saha ❯❯❯ Stay safe 06:25, 23 June 2021 (UTC)[reply]
