Infobox?

I think an infobox would be useful for this article. FloridaArmy (talk) 19:47, 22 October 2019 (UTC)[reply]

@FloridaArmy: I agree. I will add {{infobox building}} tomorrow or something similar. epicgenius (talk) 03:48, 24 October 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Comment: Created/expanded through Wikipedia:Meetup/NYC/Archives Week Wikipedia Edit-a-thon. Scottandrewhutchins created the 13th Regiment Armory article and expanded the 23rd Regiment Armory article, and I expanded all three articles.

5x expanded by Epicgenius (talk) and Scottandrewhutchins (talk). Nominated by Epicgenius (talk) at 17:29, 24 October 2019 (UTC).[reply]

All three articles are new enough (one new, two expanded 5x), long enough, neutral, and well referenced. I find the main hook the most interesting, and have verified it with the supplied sources. Three QPQs are done. No copyvio detected. Good to go. -Zanhe (talk) 01:29, 29 October 2019 (UTC)[reply]
