Did you know... that after the original Stonewall Inn (modern building pictured) closed in 1969, its space was used by a bagel shop, a Chinese restaurant, and a clothing store?

Namesake

Was the Inn originally named for Stonewall Jackson? I don't see what else it could be named for. --76.105.96.92 (talk) 15:26, 1 June 2015 (UTC) This is a common misconception, however Stonewall Jackson had no part in the history of the site. It is also falsely assumed that the statue in Christopher Park in front of the inn is of Stonewall Jackson, however it is of General Phillip Henry Sheridan, hence the name 'Sheridan Square.' Jenniferferd (talk) 18:23, 17 November 2016 (UTC)[reply]

I've never heard that suggested. Look at the pictures of the buildings. Jackson would be a very ironic namesake. Sort of like Nixon. Actually, worse than Nixon. - CorbieV ^☊ ☼ 01:53, 9 October 2016 (UTC)[reply]

When first opened, it was named "Bonnie's Stone Wall Jenniferferd (talk) 18:20, 17 November 2016 (UTC)." — Preceding unsigned comment added by Jenniferferd (talk • contribs) 04:04, 21 October 2016 (UTC)[reply]

So, not definitely not named in honour of the Confederate General. After all, it had that name in 1930, three decades before its use as a gay hostelry.

Manager at the time & Florida continuation

There is a question here which also is relevant to this article. --SergeWoodzing (talk) 20:27, 1 March 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Note about the LPC source

I'm using this NYC Landmarks Preservation Commission report as a source for Stonewall's background and architecture. Although the LPC report generally cites what we would consider to be WP:RS, the last paragraph of page 11 (which is about the history of this bar after 1990) cites this revision of the article. In general, the pre-1990 information in the LPC report is cited to books, reports, and internal documents. The various changes of ownership were not even mentioned in the previous version of the article. However, the report should be avoided for any post-1990 information, as it cites this article directly. Epicgenius (talk) 20:51, 11 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Improved to Good Article status by Epicgenius (talk).

Number of QPQs required: 1. Nominator has 650 past nominations.

Post-promotion hook changes will be logged on the talk page; consider watching the nomination until the hook appears on the Main Page.

Epicgenius (talk) 12:21, 15 April 2024 (UTC).[reply]

Ooh, Stonewall! Article eligibility and condition checks out, became a good article a few days ago. I like the ALT0 here best, though I would suggest linking those names. Assuming good faith on the sourcing. Obviously, going to have to wait til the QPQ is resolved to officially check this off. And I think June 28 would be a wonderful day for this hook.

- Thanks for the review Generalissima. I've now done a QPQ. Epicgenius (talk) 14:34, 19 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]

    - @Epicgenius and Generalissima:, as it is over six weeks until the proposed date (and was something like ten weeks at nomination approval) an exemption needs to be obtained at WT:DYK per WP:DYKSO. ~~ AirshipJungleman29 (talk) 19:53, 7 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]
      - I started a discussion on WT:DYK, which has been archived. From the comments there, I think there was a consensus to allow the request, but since there were only 3 commenters, feel free to correct me if this needs more discussion. Epicgenius (talk) 01:18, 20 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]
