They actually still exist, but they aren't the main entrance to the annex. There's a set of double doors with an awning to the west of that. Unfortunately, I can't find a source for that, and "personal observation" and "Google Street View" aren't acceptable sources. But you can see it

Whoops, I forgot to mention 40th Street there. (As there's only one 40th Street in Manhattan, I don't generally include the cardinal direction for west/east streets, as they're mainly used to distinguish between similar addresses.)

Article overall is well-written, interesting, broad in coverage, neutral, reliably cited, and well-illustrated. There are some minor issues in the prose, but apart from that, this article appears well on its way to GA. Putting

I have changed the tense of the "Power" sentence. As for "Lower stories", however, the first few floors were significantly reconfigured when the original tower became a hotel. So they are no longer arranged as terraces.
191:
Lead claims architects were John Howells and Raymond Hood, both infobox and article body claim architects were Raymond Hood and André Fouilhoux, and it is unclear in the body what exactly Howells did.
58: 774:
This is the context of the project itself, which establishes the fact that the American Radiator Building was only Hood's second skyscraper. It is not part of development per se.
137: 885: 608:
Other parts of the building were sometimes illuminated as well; in 1928, eleven stories were lit in the shape of a cross to raise awareness for tuberculosis management.
133: 91: 118: 63: 81: 855:
Not sure whether O'Keeffe's painting should belong to a section titled Critical reception (maybe rename section to Legacy or move the painting to History?)

of the annex. It could be 75,000 square feet is the amount of usable space (excluding mechanical areas) but I can't find a source to confirm this yet.
473:
This seems a bit redundant since just the paragraph before, we were discussing the Zoning Resolution's influence on the building's setbacks.
654:
Why is there such a significant margin of difference? Do the sources have different methodologies that could be elaborated in the article?
1002: 958: 911: 876:
I think more could be said about the O'Keeffe painting, since it seems to be a relatively notable cultural aspect of the building (e.g.
731: 685: 637: 536: 167: 441:
Conversely, the slight setbacks and the indented corners ensured there would be some air between the tower and all adjacent buildings.
722:
Can it at least be mentioned that some major reconfigurations took place on other floors when the hotel renovation is discussed?
793:
Their firm designed the building, but while Fouilhoux was an architect of record, Hood was the main architect for the project.
126: 86: 17: 574:
Do you know when/why they stopped lighting up the building at night? (discussions of lights have all been in the past tense)
527:
Hm, yeah I also see something akin to a revolving door in the image of the Guttman CC front. Anyways, tense fix looks good.

It doesn't really fit in history, since the emphasis is on what happened with the lighting, rather than when it happened.
103: 364:
The American Radiator Building is between Fifth and Sixth Avenues, which forms the southern border of Bryant Park.
553:
This is the first time that terracotta is mentioned. Were the decorations discussed previously not of terracotta?
323: 219:
Howells and Hood employed their frequent collaborator Rene Paul Chambellan for the ornamentation and sculptures.
831:
He is a real estate developer, which I've clarified. But I do think it is a quite minor detail for the article.
828:
Who is Philip Pilevsky (is he a professional hotel developer, or somebody who does this as a sort of side job)?
399:
Should it be explicitly mentioned in the text that these brownstones were razed to make way for the building?
998: 954: 907: 727: 681: 633: 587: 532: 161: 902:
Yep, the added elaboration that gives some sense of the painting's relative significance looks good to me.
659: 790:
No mention of Fouilhoux during the development phase (except for the architecture firm's office space)?

There is actually an article about the painting itself (or rather the series of which it is part,

There isn't really a difference, they're just alternate names for the same entity.

Lead claims only Gothic style, but infobox and article body also include Art Deco.

The annex has either 75,000 sq ft (7,000 m2) or 91,000 sq ft (8,500 m2) of space.

I removed Howells from the lead. Not sure why he was even mentioned here.
610:
Isn't this more to do with the building's History than its Facade design?
471:
The 1916 Zoning Resolution strongly influenced the building's shape.

Thanks for the review. I've addressed all these issues now. –

Power was drawn directly from electric mains under the street.

Is the door no longer there? What is there in its place now?
