Untitled[edit]

I'd like to find out more about the figure of Puck that is on the Puck Building. What or who was the model for this figure? Is it possible to obtain drawings or statuettes like the figure on the Puck Building?

According to this site, it was sculpted by Henry Baerer in 1885 of gilded cast zinc. A reference to Henry Baerer as the sculptor also appears on this site. Beyond that, I don't know. -- Cjmnyc 05:44, 24 Aug 2003 (UTC)

Read the "About The Puck Building" page on The Puck Building website http://www.thepuckbuilding.com/

The following comment by 66.174.79.231 was posted on the External Links section of the article page:

this is not correct. the official caterer and event planner for The Puck Building is at www.ThePuckBuilding.com they are located IN The Puck Building and manage the Grand Ballroom and Skylight Ballroom

I updated the outdated link to which this user was referring and moved his/her comment here. --Cjmnyc 21:23, 29 January 2006 (UTC)

Error in Puck Building Architect link[edit]

I believe there is an error in the link in the article in the Puck Building when the link to the architect, Albert Wagner, goes to baseball player Butts Wagner, who shares "Butts" the given name "Albert." 69.250.184.158 (talk) 03:53, 31 October 2010 (UTC)

Thanks for the note! To address it, I just delinked Albert Wagner in the article and replaced that by "Albert and Herman Wagner", not linked. I checked the NRIS database to see if there was adequate information from it to create an article about the architect Albert Wagner, but find mention of this architect only with the Puck Building. So, unless and until someone else creates an article about the architect, this should remain non-linked. Thanks again for helping. --doncram (talk) 04:55, 31 October 2010 (UTC)

The 4th edition of the AIA Guide to NYC is quite specific about who deisigned the building: Albert Wagner designed both the original building and the southern addition, while Herman Wagner supervised the relocation of the Western front when Elm Place (Lafayette Street) was widened. See White, Norval & Willensky, Elliot (2000). AIA Guide to New York City (4th ed.). New York: Three Rivers Press. ISBN 978-0-8129-3107-5. p. 87. Beyond My Ken (talk) 05:56, 31 October 2010 (UTC)

Useless "features"[edit]

I think we should leave out the redundant "Notes" subheading and the useless "" comment. Anybody support this? Yworo (talk) 17:22, 6 December 2012 (UTC)
