Was the Inn originally named for
Stonewall Jackson? I don't see what else it could be named for. --

This is a common misconception, however Stonewall Jackson had no part in the history of the site. It is also falsely assumed that the statue in Christopher Park in front of the inn is of Stonewall Jackson, however it is of General Phillip Henry Sheridan, hence the name 'Sheridan Square.'

I've never heard that suggested. Look at the pictures of the buildings. Jackson would be a very ironic namesake. Sort of like Nixon. Actually, worse than Nixon. -

So, not definitely not named in honour of the Confederate General. After all, it had that name in 1930, three decades before its use as a gay hostelry.
There is a question
here which also is relevant to this article. --

Note about the LPC source
I'm using this
NYC Landmarks Preservation Commission report as a source for Stonewall's background and architecture. Although the LPC report generally cites what we would consider to be
WP:RS, the last paragraph of page 11 (which is about the history of this bar after 1990) cites
this revision of the article. In general, the pre-1990 information in the LPC report is cited to books, reports, and internal documents. The various changes of ownership were not even mentioned in the previous version of the article. However, the report should be avoided for any post-1990 information, as it cites this article directly.

... that names in the Stonewall Inn's visitor logbook included Donald Duck, Elizabeth Taylor, and Judy Garland? Source: Carter, David (2004). Stonewall: The Riots that Sparked the Gay Revolution. St. Martin's Press. pp. 69-70.
ALT1: ... that after the original Stonewall Inn closed in 1969, its space was used by a bagel shop, Chinese restaurant, and clothing store? Source: Multiple, see article
ALT3: ... that the Stonewall Inn was originally two horse stables? Source:
Stonewall (Report). National Register of Historic Places, National Park Service. February 16, 2000. p. 10.
Ooh, Stonewall! Article eligibility and condition checks out, became a good article a few days ago. I like the ALT0 here best, though I would suggest linking those names. Assuming good faith on the sourcing. Obviously, going to have to wait til the QPQ is resolved to officially check this off. And I think June 28 would be a wonderful day for this hook.
