I will claim this one, and this will be my final review for the August 2023 GAN drive. I could review more articles here-and-there after, but I will take the needed snooze from reviewers after this. I will complete it today, August 31. Adog ( Talk・ Cont) 03:44, 31 August 2023 (UTC)

The Willoughby and Lawrence Street facade elevations are divided vertically into three bays and are highly similar in design.
The New York and New Jersey Telephone Company constructed 81 Willoughby Street in 1896 in response to increased business.

The read and skim-through was very good. Onto spot checks and final write-ups.
The article is well written, outside of a few corrections or suggestions. The article follows the general manual of style for buildings. The article cites a variety of reliable sources, with a proper reference section. In terms of spot checks, mostly good with the exception of one source. Other than that, all good. In terms of Earwig, there are some spots highlighted I would take a look at, such as the first source; which, although has common phrases, there are some matches in close paraphrasing that should be reworded, or this one. I would go through the top ones and reword the highlighted phrases to better conform with paraphrasing. Adog ( Talk・ Cont) 22:16, 31 August 2023 (UTC)
The article is broad in scope, covering a variety of topics for the subject. The article is also focused, with no problems with its content. The article is neutral towards its subject matter. Adog ( Talk・ Cont) 21:28, 31 August 2023 (UTC)
The article has images that help illustrate the subject matter, some even taken by the main editor (awesome job). The images' paperwork is properly filed with the Wiki-authorities. The article is stable, with no active or ongoing edit conflicts or disputes. Adog ( Talk・ Cont) 21:28, 31 August 2023 (UTC)
