Interesting architectural history, GA on fine sources, subscription sources accepted AGF, no copyvio obvious. Of the hooks, I like the original best, and ALT1 the least. My guess is that Jewish museum vs. apartments is easier to grasp than the finely worded pairs of ALTs and ALT3. The image is licensed, but I wonder if the line-drawing wasn't a bit more unusual. --Gerda Arendt (talk) 21:45, 15 September 2022 (UTC)
