Clark House from behind

... that Clark House (pictured) was used to host Cold War meetings?

ALT1: ... that Clark House (pictured) was constructed with hollow ceramic blocks? Source: https://clough.co.nz/monographs/clough_monograph3.pdf
Reviewed:
Comment: First time at DYK, I think the Cold War hook is more interesting to a general reader, although someone into architecture would be more interested about the hollow ceramic blocks (but most of that information is out of scope for the article).

Overall: Really nice inaugural article from new user Abydocomist about a historic house in West Auckland, New Zealand (hopefully many more to come!) Since I am taking the Clough & Associates reference on good faith (I had problems accessing it on my browser) I would rather stick with ALT0. I also removed a possibly promotional sentence which used an unreliable source. Havradim leaf a message 08:00, 24 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Date discrepancy?

Hi there. I just noticed the lede says both "early 20th century" and "constructed in the late 1890s". Would it be an idea to re-word one of these so they aren't contradictory? - e.g. instead of "early 20th century" have "turn of the 20th century"? Daveosaurus (talk) 04:11, 25 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Construction started in the late 1890s and finished in the 20th century. There is certainly a better way to word this. Abydocomist (talk) 06:39, 30 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]
