Did You Know
A fact from this article appeared on Wikipedia's Main Page in the "Did you know?" column on April 11, 2021.
The text of the entry was: Did you know ... that the "fairy-tale palace" Harry F. Sinclair House (pictured), once home to magnates Isaac D. Fletcher and Harry F. Sinclair, later contained the Ukrainian American Institute?
Current status: Featured article

Name of the house

[edit]

So the Isaac D. Fletcher House is known as the Harry Sinclair House because he was living there when the Teapot Dome Scandal made him notorious? Not really a very welcome precedent.--Wetman (talk) 05:15, 8 October 2008 (UTC)[reply]

A redirect from Isaac D. Fletcher House now mitigates the precedent.--DThomsen8 (talk) 17:12, 31 December 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Ukrainian Institute of America

[edit]

Since the Harry F. Sinclair House is owned by the Ukrainian Institute of America, it would be very informative if an article could be created about the Institute.
