- ALT1:... that the Helmsley Building and the Manhattan Municipal Building both have "basements" above ground, since both are located above underground tracks? Source: NY Times 1929 (Helmsley, formerly New York Central Building) located above train yards, NY Times 1989 (Municipal Building), located above a subway station

5x expanded by Epicgenius (talk). Self-nominated at 13:36, 15 June 2020 (UTC).
Hemsley Building is a 5x expansion. Manhattan Municipal Building is a recent GA pass which has not featured at DYK before. Both articles are well written, well sourced, and have citations throughout. The articles are written neutrally. Main hook is verified as both articles make mention of the inspiration of one building on the other. ALT1 is verified as both buildings have their mechanical equipment in a floor above ground. QPQ is done. G2G. – Muboshgu (talk) 23:16, 1 July 2020 (UTC)
