Embassy Court[edit]
_(October_2013,_viewed_from_Kings_Road)_(3).JPG)
- ... that Embassy Court (pictured) in Brighton, which "thrilled one to the marrow" according to the Architects' Journal, had England's first penthouse suites?
- ALT1:... that Anthony Seldon wants Embassy Court (pictured) in Brighton to be demolished and "parties [held] to celebrate"?
- ALT2:... that The Cheeky Guide to Brighton said that Embassy Court (pictured) "looked like Michael Jackson's face on a bad day"?

- Comment: Expanded in a sandbox, then copied across today to supersede the existing stub. Plenty of hook potential here; ALT2 is the most quirky, but I could only source it to an Argus report because I don't have the 3rd edition of The Cheeky Guide (only the 1st edition, which doesn't mention Embassy Court). ALT1 is referenced to Seldon's Brave New City, specifically to p152. The main hook is sourced to Antram & Morrice p110 (Architects' Journal quote) and various sources including A Guide to the Buildings of Brighton p81 (the first penthouse suites in England).
5x expanded by Hassocks5489 (talk). Self nominated at 22:15, 21 December 2013 (UTC).
This substantial and well-written article is a five-fold expansion and is long enough and new enough. All three of the proposed hooks are covered by inline citations to mostly offline sources, and the hook facts are accepted in good faith. The image has an appropriate licence.
