Norwood Tower

[edit]
  • ... that, until the passage of the Civil Rights Act of 1964, the Norwood Tower held the only public restroom open to African Americans in downtown Austin, Texas? Source: "Williams had an office in room 412, which included ... a bathroom. Throughout the period of segregation in Austin, before the Civil Rights Act of 1964, African American dignitaries ... would call ... at the Norwood Building to get a drink of water and use his bathroom, as it was the only facility available to them."

  • New, in time, long enough, sourced, inline hook citations check out, no apparent copyvios, QPQ done. Approving ALT0. Bryanrutherford0, for ALT1 to work, two sentences (about air conditioning, and about being the only Gothic Revival skyscraper) would need inline citations. --Usernameunique (talk) 06:46, 22 December 2017 (UTC)
