Could this now be a Start?

Open for any and all discussionCoal town guy (talk) 14:16, 11 September 2013 (UTC)

I dunno. It seems to be a bunch of semi-unrelated facts strung together; I expect more cohesion in a start-class article. Also, I'm bothered by the amount of direct quotations. --Orlady (talk) 03:27, 12 September 2013 (UTC)
I used the direct quotes from Jim Wood, the only person who bothered to write a history of Raleigh County WV, so in a sense, I wanted to provide authentic data, in other words, what did Alfred Beckley say about his own house. I agree about the organization part, and would be open to any and all suggestions. I tried to keep the purchase and original property name in the history sectionCoal town guy (talk) 12:39, 12 September 2013 (UTC)
Just rewrote the article again, this time I think the flow is betterCoal town guy (talk) 13:01, 12 September 2013 (UTC)
Yes, the flow is better, but I think it's still a stub because it still tells the reader very little about the house. The National Register nom is less informative than the typical NRHP nom, but it has a lot of basic information that I didn't find here. --Orlady (talk) 19:33, 12 September 2013 (UTC)
I have read the nom form in detail and beliecve it or not been to the house on a tour. The only other features, I could see wree those you would find in a real estate ad, fireplaces, exposed wooden beams, plans are to restore the house to its original form, which, I have had some fun with, they want to use clap board as Beckley did, but some other historians and I have discussed this and many want the log cabin, not the clap board. I will look and update some of the physical features.Coal town guy (talk) 21:02, 12 September 2013 (UTC)
