Architectural style

Don't be misled by the NRHP talk about about a Beaux Arts plan. It's a neoclassical building, as further text in the nomination (and pretty much everywhere else) states.

FAC comments

@Lee Vilenski, sorry for forgetting to reply to your comments at this article's FAC. I appreciate your feedback very much, but I'd like to respond to your points anyway:

Previously when you've used "facade" there's been an accent on the c - This article uses "facade" without a cedilla because, at least according to Merriam-Webster, "facade" is more spelled without the cedilla in American English.
For a building called "memorial", I'd expect at least a glancing mention of what it is in memorial of. - That information is in the second paragraph of the article: Columbia University president Seth Low funded the building with $1 million and named the edifice in memory of his father, Abiel Abbot Low. I could move it up to the first paragraph if you think it fits better there.
campus[5][6] in Manhattan, New York City.[1 - I know you are using these cites to show it's on the campus' location, but the cites can go at the end. - I have done this now.
