The 2nd Madison Square Garden (the one by White) was demolished in 1925. (I also wonder about the pertinence of any involvement with Tesla's mysterious structure, but Tesla material seems to get stuck in a lot of articles to which it is only tangentially related). - Nunh-huh 02:33, 4 May 2004 (UTC)

[edit] Double corridors
"double corridors for separate circulation, so that a guest never bumped into a laundress with a basket of bedlinens" I find it impossible to envision this without assuming bedrooms without windows. I would like to see a floor plan. Too Old 18:11, 16 Sep 2004 (UTC)
- To pick an easily available source, the picture book by Samuel G. White, with Jonathan Wallen (photographer), The Houses of McKim, Mead and White 1998, will help you visualize this much-discussed topic. Wetman 19:42, 16 Sep 2004 (UTC)
- Better! I've found a very simple floorplan that still shows the double circulation! see revised entry. Thanks for the query. Wetman 19:53, 16 Sep 2004 (UTC)
- I now remember a number of houses that I have seen with back halls and back stairs, but I still can't envision a completely separate system on a bedroom floor. Too Old 02:48, 17 Sep 2004 (UTC)
[edit] Date of Birth
- Michael David 01:00, 19 March 2006 (UTC)
- White's biographer Paul Baker has the birthdate as Novenber 9, 1853. Too. Carptrash 02:17, 19 March 2006 (UTC) PS. What happened to Stanny's picture?
[edit] University of Virginia Rotunda
Am concerned about stating that White restored the Rotunda to its original design. After the two fires, McKim, Mead & White did indeed restore much of it to Jefferson's original plans, but the entire north staircase and facade was their design. The Rotunda, in Jefferson's original vision, was a scaled down replica of the Pantheon, which did not include a north portico or staircase with a large Jefferson statue. I'm not sure of dates. Could someone take a look at this?beekman 18:50, 7 April 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Face/Behind
How could he be "shot point blank in the face" and also "shot from behind [by] a crazed profligate"? —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 205.248.102.81 (talk) 02:54, 7 May 2007 (UTC).
That's what I was wondering as well.71.63.119.49 (talk) 23:24, 22 December 2007 (UTC)
[edit] This question
really (opinion) belongs here.
- "Hold on, wait a minute, wasn't the red velvet swing in the so called "Giralda Tower" at Madison Square Garden? What is this building that you are talking about?" —Preceding unsigned comment added by Carptrash (talk • contribs) 03:06, 27 November 2007 (UTC)
[edit] Relationship with Evelyn Nesbit
Under the section death, the article states: "Thaw was the jealous millionaire husband of Evelyn Nesbit, a popular actress and artist's model, whom White had raped when she was 16." I am certainly not an expert, but the article on Nesbit seems to imply that there is more ambiguity to what exactly their relationship was. That article implies that the relationship was predatorial and manipulative, but not necessarily rape. I have currently changed that sentence to "Thaw was the jealous millionaire husband of Evelyn Nesbit, a popular actress and artist's model, with whom White had a manipulative and sexual relationship when she was 16 (to his 47)." I still feel that this is not clear, although slightly more accurate than the previous statement, so help is appreciated. Crito2161 (talk) 22:23, 23 February 2008 (UTC)
