Interesting article about a neglected masterwork, on plenty of fine sources, offline sources accepted AGF. I like the original hook and ALT1. The image is licenced and a must imho. In case it is not taken, we should add the famous architect's name that can be concluded from the image. I wonder if File:Walser House 1.JPG would be the better image option, looking more like spring ;) - In the article, I'd say about the last owners, instead of "respective deaths", just "after they died" and follow with the deterioration. I don't think it's lead material that he died before her. --Gerda Arendt (talk) 16:21, 24 March 2025 (UTC)
