can provide backup to the NRHP materials we have, though it is a less scholarly source. The challenge of this article is that there are so many individual buildings counted in a single nomination and then they changed the boundaries twice, so it gets tricky to figure out what's here, what was torn down, what's in the current district, etc. However, I'm thinking that because Urban renewal had the biggest impact of all on the HDHD, even more than the earthquake, the fires AND the architectural changes between pre- and post- 1893 structures (both fire and earthquake took an additional toll), may I propose Alt2 below?

FWIW, I have copies of the NRHP noms as does PumpkinSky, so let me note that your AGF is fine. I made a couple minor copyedits to the article, noting what changed since the 1972 NRHP nomination document. I also am linking some material I just added to an online source that is not as "official" but

If is means that there are physically distinct zones dating from different times in the city centre, and that in one of these all the buildings date from before 1893, and in the other all the buildings were constructed some unspecified, but "large", number of years later, then that is far from
518:
I'd say we can say whatever is sourced. There were actually multiple changes, the 1893 was a big one, but there were also floods, fires, an earthquake in 1935 and a major urban renewal project that hit the downtown. What's remarkable is that it is still standing!

Add the relevant citation immediately after "newer sections" (is that citation #2?), and you'd have a catchier hook: something like "due to an economic crisis, there's a big time gap between the older and newer sections of

It means due to the financial crisis new construction essentially halted for many years so one can see a big stylistic difference in the city center. One could also just use the main hook.

Sorry about the alphabet soup, I am sometimes called "MTBW", NRHP is National Register of Historic Places, and HDHD is shorthand for Helena Downtown Historic District (also HHD)

Cut the first both, changed to additions and removals as those are better terms in this case. Give a bit of time to look up details on the alt hook to refresh my memory.
61: 593:
Not sure what HDHDs, MTBWs or NRHPs are (and I almost asked myself what the acronym AND stood for) but the qualms I had with the hooks are resolved in this proposal.

is an error to be deleted. A boundary change can result in either an increase or a decrease of area, but not both: it might involve both additions and removals.
382:, I thought it was best to pull the hook out of the prep-area, to have more time to solve Kevin's concern over the hook. I'm copy-pasting his comment below. 360:
Article is new enough, long enough, well referenced. Reference is offline, so AGF there for verification and paraphrasing. Solid little article. —

So are there distinct sections? When was the first building in the area after 1893 built? In the first hook, I assume the first

OK, the ref says construction stopped for "twenty or thirty years". Maybe we can say in the article "about 25 years"?
