As discussed at my talk page, I will leave some detailed comments about Good Article status soon. First thing I noticed, though, is that this lacks a centralized description of the building design (given that this is an article about the plant, I would expect at least a paragraph or two). I see a bit of this description in "Pre-construction planning" and "Post construction", but these should be centralized.
I also see a few single-sentence paragraphs. While not technically against GA guidelines, these are not considered optimal and should probably be combined with longer paragraphs. Regarding coverage, some of these paragraphs may be expanded a bit, namely the "Relocation" section which doesn't explain too much about why the relocation took place.
The "history" section reads more like a pre-history or a context section, so it can probably be renamed as such.
In the references section, we should try to avoid all caps. Also, since the LPC reports are multi-page reports, page numbers should be used, whether through Template:Rp or WP:SFN. epicgenius ( talk) 02:15, 18 February 2020 (UTC)

@ Epicgenius: I've done a bunch more work on this. I did a bunch of shuffling material around to get it in a more coherent order and eliminate duplicated material, and also trimmed down a lot of material that was only vaguely related to the main topic. Could I impose on you to take another quick look, and then I think it's ready to ship off for GA review. -- RoySmith (talk) 16:38, 14 March 2020 (UTC)
I made a few changes for flow and style. Here are some of the issues that jumped out at me, on a first read:
By 1908, the estate had passed into the hands of a George F. Johnson (possibly the businessman George F. Johnson).- needs citation
Although incandescent lighting had been available for 30 years, modern tungsten lamps were a new invention at the time.- also needs citation
All of the above described structures are part of the landmark designationcan be improved. I think it may be mentioned earlier on in the section.
I'll go over it again soon. epicgenius ( talk) 18:59, 14 March 2020 (UTC)
These are what jumped out at me at first.

In reviews I conduct, I may make small copyedits. These will only be limited to spelling and punctuation (removal of double spaces and such). I will only make substantive edits that change the flow and structure of the prose if I previously suggested and it is necessary. For replying to Reviewer comment, please use Done, Fixed, Added, Not done, Doing..., or Removed, followed by any comment you'd like to make. I will be crossing out my comments as they are redressed, and only mine. A detailed, section-by-section review will follow. — ♠Vami _IV†♠ 16:48, 16 April 2020 (UTC)
As this the first of the reviewee's articles that I have reviewed, they should note that I am a grammar pendant and will nitpick in the interest of prose quality. – ♠Vami _IV†♠ 16:48, 16 April 2020 (UTC)
American Bank Note had a capitalization of $10,000,000The link to capitalization goes to capitalization when it looks like it ought to go to Market capitalization.
It was expected that the Trinity Place plant would be sold.into the first paragraph and combined Paragraphs 2 and 3.

This caused a number of controversies with community organizations.Can you expand on this?
