*'''Oppose'''. It can only be seen as an opinion to the average reader. There was enough consensus without the need to have an RfC, I thought? [[User:Seasider53|Seasider53]] ([[User talk:Seasider53|talk]]) 12:34, 14 August 2024 (UTC)

*As repeatedly explained, ''imposing'' is a term of art in architectural criticism. We now have thirteen sources describing it that way (three in the article and ten listed in an earlier thread on this page); these date from soon after the building was built through the 21st century, and include specialist sources such as ''American Architect and the Architectural Review''; ''American Art and Architecture''; ''Architectural Record''; ''Journal of the Society of Architectural Historians''; and ''The Architecture of America: A Social and Cultural History''.{{pb}}When such diverse sources, over a subject's entire history, unanimously describe the subject using the exact same single-word description, and there's not a scintilla of evidence of dissent or disagreement about that description, then it ceases to be opinion. Articles don't say things are "described as" something when sources are unanimous that the subject is just plain "something".
