Photo

The photo of the pergola at the Chicago Street entrance shows a portion of the structure that has been demolished in the recent restoration. It was an part of an addition made to the studio entry after Wright had abandoned his Oak Park practice and had converted the studio/office into a residential rental.

A post-restoration photo would be more appropriate. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 71.215.139.62 (talk • contribs)

• New enough (5x expansion started just one day before nomination); more than long enough (55k+ characters). Well sourced to a diverse range of sources and neutrally written. Interesting range of photos including PD photos held in the Library of Congress and visitor snaps shared under appropriate licenses on Commons. Earwig, the citation style, and spot check suggest close paraphrasing isn't a problem. QPQ is done. This leaves the hooks. All of the suggested hooks check out and are ok to use. ALT4 is the weakest because it sounds like a statement of fact that leaves nothing to click for; it also "undersells" both the article and the architecture, since in reality Wright kept modifying the building after it was completed. To me ALT2 promises more of an explanation of what a "bootleg house" is than what is in the article (although context suggests it's called that because they were designed out of contract). I leave it up to the promoter to select a hook from the set, but personally I think ALT0 and ALT1 are strongest; ALT0 could work as a picture hook and ALT1 as a "quirky" hook.
