A couple of issues:

• There are various grammatical issues throughout this article, particularly run-on sentences.
• I would suggest (from what I've looked at so far) that the level of detail describing Barry's Grand Tour is neither necessary nor useful. Smiles Aloud (talk) 11:34, 12 May 2013 (UTC)[reply]

HM Treasury[edit]

Can anyone verify that the HM Treasury building is a Barry design? He is not mentioned in the linked article, nor in the main article which that one links to. - Sitush (talk) 12:44, 15 January 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Sitush - Sorry for the delay in replying. I don’t think so, HM Treasury is in the GOGGS building, Government Offices Great George Street, which was built 1898-1917, and designed by J. M. Brydon.[1] KJP1 (talk) 07:12, 23 November 2022 (UTC)[reply]
p.s. This is referencing the Old Treasury, now the Cabinet Office. It is rather confusing as the HE entry (1267063) calls it “Treasury Buildings”, which it now isn’t! KJP1 (talk) 09:37, 4 December 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Big Ben[edit]

Hello, throughout there are references to the Palace of Westminster as Barry's design and plan (true) but also to the Elizabeth Tower AKA Big Ben as the work of Barry. In fact Barry asked Pugin to design Big Ben. The paragraph about the complex does not make it clear that Pugin did the famous tower. Indeed a reference existed on this page to "Big Ben -- Barry's most famous public building". I've added "(though designed by Pugin)". 89.197.164.126 (talk) 08:53, 11 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]
