• In the portals section, you state that there were three entrance portals, but that only two of them were actually used as entrances. Either this is a contradiction, or I'm misunderstanding something.
  • Yes, there were three entrance portals, one of which was never opened to the public. epicgenius (talk) 00:57, 31 March 2020 (UTC)
• Graybar is a duplicate link
  •  Done
• " A writer for The New Yorker stated in November 1927 that the building "probably the largest something, or the highest something, or the most capacious something, in the world – but we didn’t know what"." - Ungrammatical, a change needs to occur (likely at the juncture where the direct quote starts).
