"The Otto and Addie Kahn House, now, Covenant of the Sacred Heart, New York City, 1918."
among the list of Cass Gilbert's built works, as it should be attributed to C. P. H. Gilbert,
or Charles Pierrepont Henry Gilbert.  excerpt from NYTimes article below by Christopher Gray:
:<BLOCKQUOTE>"A third contemporaneous Gilbert mansion was that of Frank W. Woolworth at the northeast corner of 80th Street and Fifth Avenue, now demolished but similar to the Fletcher and Kleeberg houses. The Woolworth connection has led some to confuse C. P. H. Gilbert with Cass Gilbert, the architect Woolworth chose for his skyscraper at Broadway and Barclay Street, built in 1913. There was also another prominent architectural Gilbert at the time, Bradford Lee Gilbert, who designed many railroad stations; none are closely related."</BLOCKQUOTE>

:*You are correct - the Otto and Addie Kahn House was not designed by Cass Gilbert, but by CPH Gilbert (Charles Pierrepont Henry), an architect prominant in the construction of many Upper East side residences in NYC. Short biographical info here. Good catch. MarcoTolo 00:45, 2 April 2006 (UTC)
thread_title: Otto and Addie Kahn House

message: As a biography, the Cass Gilbert article should have a photo. Over the last few months, I've been trying to dig up a free-use image to use, with little result. Has anyone seen a likely candidate? Even hints would be helpful as this stage, since everything I've turned-up is either covered under copyright or comes with too much licensing 'baggage' to use here. -- MarcoTolo 21:45, 11 May 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: It's sometimes difficult to determine the photographer, but the Minnesota Historical Society has some material, including one photograph from 1880.  --Aude (talk) 22:09, 11 May 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: I saw those, but was put off by the MHS Conditions of Use boilerplate. If the photo is from 1880, can the organization have a copyright on the, I don't know, presentation of a particular digital copy of the image? -- MarcoTolo 22:26, 11 May 2007 (UTC)

message: why this:
;;Schumacher's Hotel and Restaurant in New Prague MN
showed up in the Archives section, so I moved it here to talk about.  If this place owns or contains some noteworthy Cass Gilbert records, it should go back into the article.  If not, pretty much only buildings that have articles about them, or should have articles about them need (opinion) to be included in the article.  Carptrash (talk) 18:42, 2 April 2009 (UTC)

replies: text: After i created a good number of articles and redirects, just 3 redlinks (for 3 MN properties for another editor) remain.  Am adding :Category:Cass Gilbert buildings to the new ones.

message: One editor wants to remove any reference to Gilbert's prominence as a matter of "opinion."  Wiki reports the evaluations made by the reliable sources -- and the numerous scholarly book, articles and exhibits demonstrate clearly enough that he is prominent, and several are cited that say that explicitly.

replies: text: The editor in question is involved in a campaign to remove such descriptions from lede sentences on a number of articles.

thread_title:  External links modified 

message: I don't know how to fix the citations to make clear that they are the same works but there are two MINOR problems:
* There are two different ways to refer to Geoffrey Blodgett's Cass Gilbert: The Early Years. One refers to the 10 digit ISBN, the other to the 13 digit. Ref's should also link to Blodgett's wiki page.
* There are also several different ways that Christen and Flanders' Cass Gilbert, Life and Work: Architect of the Public Domain is referred to. And note that Christen and Flanders aren't the author of that book, they are editors.  — Preceding unsigned comment added by HighAtop94 (talk • contribs) 03:22, 4 May 2017 (UTC)
