Comment: If these don't work out, I can propose separate hooks for each article.

5x expanded by Epicgenius (talk). Self-nominated at 13:36, 15 June 2020 (UTC).Reply

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)Reply
