@Vanguard10: Thank you for the review. Generally, the shorter a hook is, the better. When a nomination has multiple hooks, You can pick either hook, or suggest a new hook (which is what you did). I think your hook is OK, but it can be improved. How about this? epicgenius (talk) 14:03, 8 February 2018 (UTC)
  • ALT3: ... that the landmarked 19th-century Robert and Anne Dickey House, which formerly housed the French consulate in New York, is being incorporated into a new school building?
Excellent. As reviewer, I choose ALT3 and will strike out others. However, Tdorante10 may choose and remove the strike out lines. Vanguard10 (talk) 03:31, 9 February 2018 (UTC)
