Comment: Please add inline citations to demonstrate which text is supported by which source. Examples here. NotAGenious (talk) 15:00, 29 October 2023 (UTC)

Comment: Need to include the extent of the historical district (what are its boundaries), when it was listed and by whom (i.e. Landmarks Preservation Commission / National Register of Historic Places), how many buildings does it contain, the history of the area, what are the significant non-residential buildings (i.e. Trinity Lutheran Church).

Comment: Hi there. I think this may be notable but I'd like to see WP:INLINE citations after each statement, so we know what source refers to each sentence? See the tutorial at WP:INTREFVE.
