Infobox and lede

edit
  • "It was designed by the architect Stanford White of the firm McKim, Mead & White in the High Italian Renaissance style." → "It was designed in the High Italian Renaissance style by the architect Stanford White of the firm McKim, Mead & White." As it stands, it sounds like White is in the style, not the building
  • "The French government bought the building in 1952." → "The French government purchased the building five years later." to break up the flow of the paragraph

Site

edit
  • There is a yard on the south side of the house, separating it from the James B. Duke House directly to the south. Redundancy between this and the previous sentence can be cleared up
  • Do we know what happened to the rear entrance, or at least when it was removed?
