building architect[edit]

Doncram, I see you looked at this in Feb. The infobox still lists "Albert S. Ross" as architect/builder, and the NRHP nom doesn't explicitly he was the architect. But we know that the school was built by the WPA and that Ross was an architect active in Oklahoma in the time (mid-20th century). This can confirmed by just googling on the name "Albert S. Ross". We have him listed as architect in Sugg Clinic. So since the nom lists him as builder/architect and he clearly was an architect, I have boldly updated this article. --User:MB (April 2019)

Hmm, hi User:MB. So the article should get more specific documentation that Albert S. Ross or Albert Ross was the architect. The name being in the infobox would have come from the NRIS database probably; NRIS would not have more specifics about that, and some other source should be consulted to confirm that Ross's involvement wasn't merely to supervise some small later renovation or whatever. I'll try looking around a bit more, later, if I can remember to come back here. --Doncram (talk) 23:48, 7 July 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Hmm, there was also an architect named Albert R. Ross or Albert Randolph Ross. NRIS version 2013a includes for "S":

F.W. Meaders House, 521 South Broadway Ada, OK Ross, Albert
Sugg Clinic, 100 E. 13th St. Ada, OK Ross, Albert S.

And for "R"

Gloversville Free Library, 58 E. Fulton St. Gloversville, NY Ross,Albert Randolph
Milwaukee County Courthouse, 901 N. 9th St. Milwaukee, WI Ross,Albert R.

Okay, User:MB, thanks for the push. Albert S. Ross is a now a new article, in progress. Seems clear he did a whole lot in Oklahoma; your informed edit was right on. Albert R. Ross already existed. Albert Ross is a disambiguation page, newly updated. :) --Doncram (talk) 01:24, 8 July 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Doncram, good start to the article on S.Ross. Thanks for pursuing this further. On minor thing, on the DAB page you used "USA". We are supposed to use US, U.S., or United States, but not "USA". I changed it. Later. MB 04:17, 8 July 2019 (UTC)[reply]
