thread_title: Image copyright problem with File:Denver East High School.jpg

message: #106 on the list is in St. Louis.  Dunno if there are two Eugene Field Houses, but something's wrong ... —johndburger 17:02, 26 February 2009 (UTC)
replies: text: Yes, there are two such houses.  This isn't the only such duplication (just look at First Presbyterian Church to see how many of them are listed!), but this is a rather egregious error that should have been caught before now.  I don't say this to put down anyone else: just a minute ago I looked at the article and completely missed the fact that it wasn't a Denver site.  I'm about to reformat the page, so I've incorporated your correction.  Thanks for your attentiveness!  Nyttend (talk) 19:57, 26 February 2009 (UTC)

message: There's such a place in Douglas County, so not too far south; but this surely is mislocated.  Nyttend (talk) 19:53, 26 February 2009 (UTC)

message: Would there be any way to divide up this page into, for example, three separate pages? The page takes a long time to load, and I think separating it into three pages would ameliorate the problem. I am working on adding images for as many entries as I can, a project that will only worsen the problem. Thanks. Denverjeffrey (talk) 14:23, 16 June 2009 (UTC)
replies: text: Several large cities have been split into multiple listings pages, so there's plenty of precedent — for example, Baltimore has five separate listings pages.  Normally, these splits have been done by official boundaries, such as city-designated neighborhoods.  Does Denver have such neighborhoods/districts/etc.?  If so, please explain it in a few words here.  I'm going to post a note at the NRHP project page, asking members to help decide the best way to split this page.  Nyttend (talk) 20:39, 17 June 2009 (UTC)
replies: text: Denver is divided in to seventy-something or eighty-something (I forget the exact number) neighborhoods, and a map of them is here. That's probably too granular, especially since the majority of the NRHPs are in just a few neighborhoods close to the center of town. Another option might be to divide the city into four parts, with Broadway and Ellsworth being the center point, and those streets the dividing lines. Alternatively, the pages could be divided alphabetically. Thanks for your help with this, and I look forward to hearing what the folks on the project page say.

replies: text: It should be easy to combine bits of what has been done at Baltimore and Pittsburgh.  Pittsburgh hasn't been split, because there aren't a ton of listings; however, the "City or Town" column has been changed to "Neighborhood", and all sites are listed by neighborhood.  Street addresses and coordinates, I expect, would be sufficient to determine neighborhoods for all of these.  Meanwhile, with Baltimore we grouped neighborhoods together in articles.  Therefore, I think it should be easy to do this in two steps: first figuring out in which neighborhood each site is located, and then deciding on which neighborhoods should be clumped together for a page.  I'm sleepy...is this making sense?  Nyttend (talk) 04:56, 18 June 2009 (UTC)
replies: text: BTW, what about this map?  It looks useful for 79 neighborhoods with officially-designated boundaries.  Nyttend (talk) 05:01, 18 June 2009 (UTC)
replies: text: That looks like a very helpful, detailed map.  A coarser image of those 79 neighborhoods is included in the List of neighborhoods in Denver article, which Dudemanfellabra at wt:NRHP refers to, and, now, the coarse map is inserted here (above).  I agree with Nyttend, that adding a column for neighborhoods and then identifying them gradually will enable you, eventually, to split the article by big areas of Denver that are defined as groups of these neighborhoods.  Perhaps NW, NE, SE, SW?  Hopefully some division that is actually used in Denver. doncram (talk) 06:33, 18 June 2009 (UTC)

text: P.S. There are other partitions of Denver available in browsing "Other maps" linked from the Denvergov.org map page.  For example, under "Government", there are 11 City Council districts, all mapped.  However, when considering using electoral districts for dividing up another NRHP list, the List of RHPs in PR, it was pointed out that the Senatorial electoral districts there get changed every so often and are not stable enough, not well known to use for dividing the NRHP list.  I don't know if Denver's City Council districts would be stable, probably not.  But perhaps other groups of neighborhoods are in some other one of the "Other maps" category. doncram (talk) 06:43, 18 June 2009 (UTC)
replies: text:  Adding an additional column to list the official neighborhood of each site sounds like a good idea to me, and it would be helpful in deciding how to divide up the page. I've also been adding articles for the neighborhoods, and this listing would be helpful to me in that endeavor. Thanks for all your advice. Denverjeffrey (talk) 17:13, 20 June 2009 (UTC)
replies: text: I've added such a column.  Not being familiar with the city, I've only listed one site in its neighborhood (because its summary line explained its neighborhood), so someone else will have to do the other 282.  Nyttend (talk) 03:26, 24 June 2009 (UTC)

message: There is no building numbered 1636 (the address given for the Kistler Building) on Champa Street that I could find. There is one numbered 1640, and I am assuming this is the Kistler Stationery Company Building and added the photo I shot of it to the page. The space to the right of this building (i.e. with numbering lower than 1640) is sort of a driveway of a modern Social Security Administration building, so there is definitely no number 1636. Let me know if I am mistaken. Denverjeffrey (talk) 18:32, 22 June 2009 (UTC)
replies: text: I believe that it's a modern numbering issue.  The building to the left (northeast) of the one you have is the Boston Building, so it's definitely not that either.  Rather, I believe that 1636 is the address of the middle of the building, under the "FastSigns" sign.  I must admit, when I was walking around Denver getting the pictures that are on here, I was somewhat confused by the numbering system; if I remember rightly, the address for the Magnolia Hotel is 828 17th St., but the building in which it is located (the First National Bank Building) is listed at 818 17th.  By the way, check the nomination form (PDF page 50) for the multiple property submission that resulted in this building being listed, in which older buildings are darker — if you look at the southern corner of 17th and Champa, you'll see the Boston Building's non-rectangular shape, with another older building (where 1640 is now) to the southeast, and a newer building (where the one immediately to the left of this one) southeast of that.

thread_title:  Kistler Stationery Company Building 

message: The website for the Colorado Historical Society spells the name of this site differently, and I don't know which is correct. At this site, it is spelled, "BUERGER BROTHERS BUILDING AND ANNEX." Denverjeffrey (talk) 00:13, 13 August 2009 (UTC)
replies: text: See the MPS form, which spells it in the same way as does the CHS.  This is clearly a typo by the NRIS.  Nyttend (talk) 03:48, 13 August 2009 (UTC)
thread_title:  Spelling of Brueger Brothers Building and Annex 

message: I think the address listed for the Helene Apartment Building on the article page here is incorrect. I went there to photograph the building and found it at number 1062. The picture is here: 100px. Also the Colorado State Historical Society page puts it at 1062; see here. Thanks, Denverjeffrey (talk) 23:10, 21 August 2009 (UTC)
