[edit] Recent fixes

Well, try this on for size. I added some clr templates to stop clashes between sections, and avoid text squishing. While this introduces some more white space, this seems to be the lesser of two evils. The Infobox forces a picture size of 300px. I also tried other infoboxes, such as the "building" infobox and the "Historic building" infobox, but they use a 260px and a 250 px picture; neither of which was small enough to make a difference. Also, the MOS recommends against left-aligning pictures IF such alignments clash with section headings (i.e. right under the section heading line), so I right-aligned the pictures. Having ALL right aligned picturs IS one of the reccomended MOS methods of distrubuting pics (the other is a right-left-right alternation. This article is so short that that method doesn't work as well.) I also copyedited the lead, and added an awards and honors section (since these were ONLY mentioned in the lead, and a lead should not be the ONLY place a fact is mentions) and did some other minor copyedits. What do you think of these fixes?--Jayron32|talk|contribs 01:32, 19 May 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Pictures still squishing text

Look, maybe move the architecture section under the history section? See how that looks. I will try that. The infobox template "hardcodes" the picture size. There is a way of rewriting the template code to allow someone to change the size in some articles as needed, but defaults to the current picture size. I am no good at coding templates, but this needs to be fixed somewhere besides this article. I will try moving the sections around to solve the squished text problem. Also, the TOC and the Infobox are squishing text as well. That needs fixing. I will work on that. --Jayron32|talk|contribs 16:08, 22 May 2007 (UTC)
