5x expanded by DACC23 (talk) and Epicgenius (talk). Nominated by Epicgenius (talk) at 20:36, 15 May 2021 (UTC).[reply]

5x expanded and nominated the same day and is therefore new enough and long enough. the first hook is interesting and I for a good kick out of it, and it would appeal to a broader audience due to its simplicity. Would consider dropping "66-room" as it kind of draws attention away from the fun fact aspect of it, but no biggie. It's cited to a reliable source and NPOV is considered. QPQ completed.

Math inconsistency[edit]

33.5 feet multiplied by 175 feet =/ 7300 Annonynnonymous (talk) 08:32, 3 January 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Yeah, a site of 7300 square feet is improbable given these dimensions. I've changed it now. – Epicgenius (talk) 05:43, 19 February 2023 (UTC)[reply]
