Opening statement

In reviews I conduct, I may make small copyedits. These will only be limited to spelling and punctuation (removal of double spaces and such). I will only make substantive edits that change the flow and structure of the prose if I previously suggested and it is necessary. For replying to Reviewer comment, please use  Done,  Fixed,  Added,  Not done,  Doing..., or  Removed, followed by any comment you'd like to make. I will be crossing out my comments as they are redressed, and only mine. A detailed, section-by-section review will follow. —♠Vami_IV†♠ 17:04, 5 April 2020 (UTC)

Prose

• Red Hook's Atlantic Basin, Brooklyn Navy Yard, the Brooklyn Navy Yard
  •  Done

  • As I recall, the lease ran out at the end of 1914 and the company moved to their warehouse in the beginning of 1915, so they basically spent this time relocating. epicgenius (talk) 18:17, 5 April 2020 (UTC)

• The design reflects Late 19th and Early 20th Century American Movements architecture.[1] Rewrite.

• Its primary construction material is reinforced concrete, which Gilbert used in order to increase the building's maximum load weight, and make the structure fireproof. Combine with the first sentence, break into additional sentences as need requires.
  • Well, since the first sentence is now removed, I have split this into two sentences. epicgenius (talk) 18:17, 5 April 2020 (UTC)
• The facade is divided into numerous architectural bays, which generally contain groupings of three narrow windows on each floor. These windows are recessed slightly within the facade. Condense.
  •  Done
• One thousand five hundred workers Why not just use a numeral?
