Doubtful that a construction firm donatef a building in order to memorialize someone, as current wording seems to suggest! —Doncram (talk) 20:40, 8 October 2019 (UTC)[reply]

His family hired the firm.Zigzig20s (talk) 20:57, 8 October 2019 (UTC)[reply]
Okay, but that is not what the article suggests, it basically says the contractor built the building in order to memorialize someone unrelated to them, and seems odd to me. --Doncram (talk) 21:39, 8 October 2019 (UTC)[reply]
Thanks for the second opinion. I've rephrased it. Yet another interesting building in a small town...Zigzig20s (talk) 21:56, 8 October 2019 (UTC)[reply]
Okay, thanks, that's better. It still seems to elevate/over-emphasize the construction firm, relative to the architectural firm say. I would bet that the family chose the architect who chose or gave input on the construction firm, rather than the other way around (or does the NRHP document say they chose the builder first?). It is odd in general, by the way, that the NRHP infobox format presents the builder before listing the architect, when both are given, because that is opposite order of how it usually happens. Anyhow, thanks for making some adjustment. --Doncram (talk) 22:03, 8 October 2019 (UTC)[reply]
Not really, but you can rephrase it if you want.Zigzig20s (talk) 22:19, 8 October 2019 (UTC)[reply]
