A fact from this article appeared on Wikipedia's Main Page in the "Did you know?" column on December 22, 2011.

The text of the entry was: Did you know ... that the U.S. Patent Office 1836 fire occurred in the same building that housed the local fire department?

Current status: Delisted good article

Category:Hotel fires

This article is the odd one out in Category:Hotel fires as it was never in use as a hotel from what I read. The building was an unfinished hotel which was bought by the government and turned into a patent office in 1810. S_peakF_ree ^(talk)_(contribs) 22:21, 19 December 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Yes, that's correct. Thanks for explanation for removing Category:Hotel.--Doug Coldwell ^talk 22:35, 19 December 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Page move

I decided to be bold and move the article, even though it was on the front page. The new title is more in line with Wikipedia naming guidelines, and sounds much better, I think. --Ser Amantio di Nicolao^{Che dicono a Signa?}_{Lo dicono a Signa.} 16:59, 22 December 2011 (UTC)[reply]
