[edit]- ... that British/Kenyan architect Dorothy Hughes′ two most renowned designs are the Cathedral of the Holy Family and a nightclub in the red-light district of Nairobi?

I love the hook, Susun! But ideally the hook fact should be stated explicitly in the article with a citation per DYK rules – currently all I can see is that the cathedral was her most famous work. If you can't find a ref that says they were both her most noted works, it would still make an interesting hook to mention that she designed both. Otherwise everything is fine with the article (date, length, references, tone) and QPQ. 97198 (talk) 10:15, 24 October 2015 (UTC)
- 97198 Thanks for the review! :) The night club is there you, but you have to look for it. In the top 20 buildings of Kenya, it is #11, they call it the Florida Club on the list, but it says "popularly called Maddhouse or Maddi," also says "Architect: Hughes and Polkinghorne", her firm. I will add a line that says her 2nd building noted on the top twenty buildings is ... If you don't think that's enough, let me know and I can try to rework it, but I thought the diametrically opposed notions were fabulous! SusunW (talk) 14:31, 24 October 2015 (UTC)
