Why is there a picture of a pope or someone on this entry instead of the building?!

The oldest building outside New York City? I don't think so. Not even the oldest building in the USA outside New York City. 86.13.151.12 01:06, 6 February 2007 (UTC)[reply]

It says the oldest building over 12 stories outside NYC. I won't comment on the accuracy of that, but we should be clear what the article is claiming. Mak (talk) 01:09, 6 February 2007 (UTC)[reply]

You are quite correct. But it does not provide a citation for this statement.Cliff 01:15, 6 February 2007 (UTC)[reply]

It did a couple of days ago, but was edited out. It has been added back in. Kablammo 02:39, 6 February 2007 (UTC)[reply]
