[edit] Otto and Addie Kahn House

not sure if i did it right, but i tried to delete "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:

"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."

• 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)

[edit] Non-copyrighted photo

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)

It's sometimes difficult to determine the photographer, but the Minnesota Historical Society has some material, including one photograph from 1880. [1] --Aude (talk) 22:09, 11 May 2007 (UTC)

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)
