Embassy of the United Kingdom, Montevideo
- ... that the size of the entrance hall at the British legation in Uruguay was increased after a diplomat complained there was not enough room to hold dances?
- Source: "hey jumped the gun, however, and sent to London their own sketch plan in February 1924. Its areas were 25% greater than Simpson’s schedule and London suggested changes. These did not much appeal to the minister, Claude Mallet, who suggested his own alterations, writing to the Secretary at the Office of Works, Lionel Earle, that ‘The entrance hall is not large enough. The form of entertainment most followed here are afternoon dances. ‘Halls’ are used for this purpose so as to avoid upsetting the drawing room by the removal of the furniture each time there is a dance. Space for dancing in the hall for at least 50 couples should be allowed.’ ... Cloux and Reavell managed to push the hall area up from 500 to 660 square metres and the drawing room from 540 to 620 square metres." from: Bertram, Mark. "Uruguay: Montevideo". Room for Diplomacy.

- Article is new enough, and long enough. It is adequately sourced, is written in a neutral style and is free of copy vio. The article is presentable. The hook is short enough, interesting and is cited to a reliable source. The image in the article has an appropriate licence. QPQ has been done. Good to go.
