Interesting substantial article on plenty of good sources, no copyvio obvious. The image is licensed and goes well with a hook speaking about the difficulties to preserve the protected facade, no? Another possibility the late renaming, to mention the perhaps more familiar name also. The original has no hint at its long history, so would not match the image, ALT1 is cute but no balcony is pictured, ALT2 is too complex for my taste. Want to try something else? --Gerda Arendt (talk) 21:45, 17 September 2021 (UTC)

Thanks for the review Gerda. ~~I didn't do a QPQ yet but~~ Here are other hooks for consideration:

ALT3:~~... that when the Bank of America Tower was built, the historic facade of Henry Miller's Theatre (pictured) could not be damaged and was preserved at the base of the tower?~~
ALT4:... that the historic facade of Henry Miller's Theatre (pictured) is preserved at the base of the Bank of America Tower, while the theater's interior was rebuilt underground?

I messed up there, because it would have gone very well with Template:Did you know nominations/Bank of America Tower (Manhattan), which I just nominated this Monday (and which was approved). But if Panini! and you agree on either of these, then they could be combined into a multi-article hook? Epicgenius (talk) 17:36, 18 September 2021 (UTC)

Sorry for the late response, I took a one-day hiatus because my lawnmower wasn't working and I needed time to calm down my frustrations with the universe. Is a multi-hook legal? If so, I approve of it. Panini!^🥪 19:12, 19 September 2021 (UTC)

I like ALT4, and if you want it as a double hook, you can have that as well. --Gerda Arendt (talk) 19:41, 19 September 2021 (UTC)

Sorry, I did not see it until now. That would be great. I have made a note at Template:Did you know nominations/Bank of America Tower (Manhattan) to that effect. (The credits would have to be combined manually, and the Bank of America Tower would have to be bolded, but that's not a big deal. If the tower article runs separately, its link in ALT4 can always be unbolded.) Epicgenius (talk) 18:20, 24 September 2021 (UTC)

Perhaps take this unusual case to the general discussion? I approved the theatre article and know nothing of the other. --Gerda Arendt (talk) 20:30, 24 September 2021 (UTC)
