  • Everything checks out, though I was thrown off a bit by the fact that it was moved from user space (it first appeared to me that it had not been expanded fivefold within the past five days). It makes me shiver to think that such place was almost turned into a restaurant. I would suggest mentioning that the gardens came close to destruction, as in:
  • ALT1: ... that the gardens of Gibraltar (pictured), designed by a pioneering female American landscape architect in the early 20th century, were saved from demolition in the 1990s?
  • The alternate hook is only an idea of mine. There is nothing wrong with the original one. Good luck! Surtsicna (talk) 10:37, 20 April 2013 (UTC)
