I'll start reading over the next few days and then begin to make comments. I am normally a slow reviewer - if that is likely to be a problem, please let me know as soon as possible. I tend to directly do copy-editing and minor improvements as I'm reading the article rather than list them here; if there is a lot of copy-editing to be done I may suggest getting a copy-editor (on the basis that a fresh set of eyes is helpful). Anything more significant than minor improvements I will raise here. I see the reviewer's role as collaborative and collegiate, so I welcome discussion regarding interpretation of the criteria.

• Stable. SilkTork ^{✔Tea time} 10:59, 12 July 2015 (UTC)
• Prose is clear and readable, conveying information simply and accurately. SilkTork ^{✔Tea time} 11:22, 12 July 2015 (UTC)
• MoS requirements are met, though I query the need to sub-section the two main sections, particularly the second section. Per WP:Layout: "Very short or very long sections and subsections in an article look cluttered and inhibit the flow of the prose". Though this a minor quibble, and is open to debate.

General comments

• Pass. This is a well written and informative piece on an interesting group of buildings. It's nice to do a review on a discrete and simple subject which is well written and researched as it makes the task so easy! SilkTork ^{✔Tea time} 11:32, 12 July 2015 (UTC)
