Hello Epicgenius, thanks for yet another fine article expansion. I have a question about the two b&w external photos. Both have captions saying they are views "from the southwest" but appear to be different aspects? The 1937 photo is documented as from southwest but there is no indication of view direction of the 1949 photo? JennyOz ( talk) 23:04, 24 January 2024 (UTC)

Reviewer: Ghosts of Europa ( talk · contribs) Hello Epicgenius! I'm looking forward to reviewing one of your articles. 05:12, 4 March 2024 (UTC)
Excellent work on this article! I've been to New York, but I never made it up to the Bronx. I'll have to visit next time I'm in town.
I'm happy to pass this without any changes. However, if you want some picky feedback for a future FAC:
When Philipse's wife died, he remarried Olof Stevense Van Cortlandt's daughter, herself a widow- This is the first mention of Olof, but it's written like I should know who he was. More context might be helpful here.
The grounds were used by Patriot militia leaders Comte de Rochambeau, Marquis de Lafayette, and George Washington (the last of whom would become the first president of an independent United States)- This long parenthetical is awkward ("and future president George Washington"?), especially since you don't mention Grover Cleveland's presidency when talking about him. I'm guessing more readers will know about Washington's presidency than Cleveland's.
The Dames also announced plans to build an annex to the house, but Park Board landscape architect Charles Downing Lay vetoed these plans in April 1912. The New York City Department of Parks and Recreation (NYC Parks) received bids for the annex's construction in 1913 but rejected all of them. The annex, consisting of a caretaker's apartment adjacent to the main house, was finished in 1916 or 1917, just before World War I- This is confusing. If the plans were vetoed and the bids were rejected, how did it get built? It feels like a sentence is missing here.
Honestly, I think that's all I have. Great work! Ghosts of Europa ( talk) 07:45, 5 March 2024 (UTC)
