Interesting building, fine expansion on excellent sources, the few offline sources accepted AGF. Hook: I'll wait. The original reads complicated, ALT1 hides the name, ALT2 says more about models than the subject. How about the opening for 75 years (could mention pillows), or the times of construction and being listed (could mention model of UN, and/or hexa tower)? - The first source just calls it Springs Building, is that a commonly used name? Really no image? --Gerda Arendt (talk) 09:45, 5 October 2019 (UTC)
