Red Alert 2
[edit]This building is one of many famous DC landmarks featured in the game Command & Conquer: Red Alert 2. I was wondering if anyone would have any objections to adding a mention of this? WookMuff 00:42, 20 June 2007 (UTC)
"Faux Norman style"?
[edit]There is nothing remotely Norman about this style, unless one considers any round and vaguely mediaeval-looking arches to be Norman. I think this phrase should be removed. The description of the architecture is good without it.----APW 14:05, 20 June 2007 (UTC)

Broken Citation
[edit]I can't tell if citation [1] is accurate or not. The webpage is not currently loading, neither is anything under the subdomains "cr.nps.gov" or "tps.cr.nps.gov."
Using archive.org shows that this page went to "Paca, William, House," in Maryland. The citation states accessed in 2009, and the oldest snapshot is 2010. Either way, should be updated. - Silvanathecat (talk) 15:59, 21 February 2024 (UTC)
"...A quiet room for visitors to go." "Go..." what?
[edit]Under the heading "Description", the final sentence of the third paragraph reads "The West Wing and Range are now used as a quiet room for visitors to go." There appears to be at least one word missing. "...For visitors to go" what? -shopping? -to the toilet? -crazy? Can anyone explain what the intent of the editor who added this might have been, and perhaps how to complete the thought?

- @Bricology: The text was added in this edit from December 2009. There aren't any missing words. The literal meaning of the text is that "visitors [can] go [there]". It is an area that is not intended for any specific activities, other than a place to "take a break". Fabrickator (talk) 02:44, 9 September 2024 (UTC)
- While the English is fine, we can easily drop “to go” and it would work even better. — HTGS (talk) 05:00, 9 September 2024 (UTC)
