### Infobox
The hyphen in the address field can be replaced by an en dash (–)
 Fixed
Clinton & Russell's article does not have the & symbol in it
 Fixed


### Lead
"The building served as the headquarters of the Munson Steamship Line from 1904 until 1921, and the company owned the building from 1919 to 1937." - repetition of "building"
 Fixed


### Site
The second paragraph does not need to begin with exactly the same phrase as the first paragraph
 Fixed


### Design
"1 Wall Street Court was designed by Clinton and Russell in the Renaissance Revival style.[9][11][3]" - refs in numerical order please
 Done
"1 Wall Street Court is one of a few buildings in Lower Manhattan that are shaped like a flatiron," - any specific number of buildings?
Without going into original research, there's the Flatiron Building itself, and 1 William Street to a lesser extent. However, the sources don't specify a number. epicgenius (talk) 14:01, 29 October 2020 (UTC)


### Facade
"The windows on each side are arranged into bays, with six bays each on Pearl and Beaver Streets and three on the rounded corner." - close repetition of "bays"
 Removed
Wikilink cornice and revolving doors for the uninitiated

 Done


### Features
Wikilink vestibule to Vestibule (architecture)
 Done
" As built, the building also had two 300 horsepower (220 kW) boilers" - 1 Wall Street Court
 Done
"One magazine said upon the building's completion that 1 Wall Street Court contained possibly" - which magazine?
 Added


### Construction
Clinton & Russell article's does not feature the & symbol
 Fixed
"One such project was headed by the Century Realty Company," - led
 Done
"The Remington Construction Company was hired as the contractor. The building was planned to cost $600,000." - consider merging these two sentences together?
 Done
"During construction, some of the workers went on strike," - why did the workers go on strike?
I'm not exactly sure. I didn't find sources that said why. epicgenius (talk) 14:01, 29 October 2020 (UTC)


### Munson Line use
"Frank Munson bought the Beaver Building in July 1919," - who was Frank Munson?
Also I cannot see any explicit mention of Frank Munson in the source provided
 Fixed I replaced it with the Munson Steamship Line, which is in the source. epicgenius (talk) 14:01, 29 October 2020 (UTC)


### Cocoa Exchange use
"described at the time as the world's largest cocoa market," - described by whom?
 Added


### Later use
"British developers London & Leeds acquired the Beaver Building, at which point about 70% of the space was vacant." - the percent symbol is to be avoided per MOS:PERCENT
 Fixed
"London & Leeds renamed it One Wall Street Court and renovated the interior. The lobby, elevators, and electrical and HVAC systems were refurbished." - I think these two sentences can be merged together
 Done
"The building was purchased by Cocoa Partners in 1994." - Maybe expand briefly what Cocoa Partners is?
 Done I think it's just a holding company for the actual owners, as is common in real estate here. epicgenius (talk) 14:01, 29 October 2020 (UTC)
"the commercial space was occupied by a "massive store" called" - think the text in quotation marks can be reworded
 Done

 Added
"1 Wall Street Court was made a New York City designated landmark on February 13, 1996." - who gave out the designation exactly?
 Added


### References
Reference 35 "The Planning and Construction of High Office-buildings" the publisher "J Wiley & sons" the word "sons" can begin with a capital letter
 Done
Although not deemed unreliable or possibly unsafe, I think Reference 55 can be replaced by a higher quality source where possible that states that a sushi restaurant was opened at the building's base in 2005
Sadly, this was the only source I could find about this, even on ProQuest. epicgenius (talk) 14:01, 29 October 2020 (UTC)′
