[edit] Assessment

I have rated this article as Bad on the assessment scale. IvoShandor 10:53, 14 July 2007 (UTC)

I will have to agree, this is a bad article.--Kranar drogin 10:57, 14 July 2007 (UTC)
I am going to work on cleaning up the prose, and I'll add citations and information as I come across them. – Freechild (BoomCha) 23:32, 14 July 2007 (UTC)
Roger that. I will be doing what I can as well. IvoShandor 01:03, 15 July 2007 (UTC)

I removed the entire section on "Distinguishing aspects", because it wasn't very distinguishing. There does need to be information inserted about defining characteristics, or common attributes - but this section had little, if no salvageable information. – Freechild (BoomCha) 04:23, 16 July 2007 (UTC)

What we really need are some good sources. But the current version is much better than what appeared here when I stumbled upon it. IvoShandor 06:24, 25 July 2007 (UTC)

[edit] One way to improve would be to link to specific examples

Such as the Lower East Side Tenement National Historic Site, Merchant's House Museum, Kykuit, etc.dm 06:27, 16 July 2007 (UTC) (sorry about that)

  • If not integrated into the text of the article, these types of examples would be better illustrated as a separate article that is a List of historic house museums, but I'm out of the list game, so its somebody else's to write. Besides, the Category:Historic house museums is underused right now, and probably does a better job than a list could at this point. – Freechild (BoomCha) 04:25, 16 July 2007 (UTC)
