@Epicgenius: Good work. GA, well cited, neutral, no copyvio detected. ALT1 and ALT2 lines should be inline cited in the article. ALT0 is cited. I find ALT0 the most interesting and it also says 100 years ago. So it will be most suited for September 100th anniversary run. Please add inline citation for ALT1/2 in the article. Everything else is OK. Why don't you choose an image to go with this DYK? It would be good if it is published as a DYK with an image. Regards,-Nizil (talk) 06:04, 14 August 2019 (UTC)

@Nizil Shah: Thanks for the review. ALT1/2 are both cited inline within the article, but with slightly different wording (both under the section "Military use"). I added an optional image to this nomination. epicgenius (talk) 13:56, 14 August 2019 (UTC)

Image is freely licensed and will look good at 100x100 px. Hooks are cited. Good to Go. ALT0 is most interesting to me but promoter can choose. Please note that nominator wants it to appear on its 100th anniversary in September.-Nizil (talk) 13:28, 15 August 2019 (UTC)

I am promoting this to an image slot, but using the waterside image, since this one hardly shows the size of the building. Yoninah (talk) 12:55, 30 August 2019 (UTC)
