5x expansion is verified and I didn't find any close paraphrasing. I only checked ALT1 as I think it's the most interesting and usual hook provided. I don't have access to the sources so I will assume good faith. Just waiting on a QPQ.

Lead
Y good lead summary. All of the elements are cited in the body and the lead summarizes the article.
Grammar
Y consider removing had from "42nd Street had contained brownstones"
Y "and eastern elevations contain plain brick facades" consider "and eastern elevations have plain brick facades"
Y "to the west (right) are a wood-and-glass door" consider "is"
Y "The third through eighth stories contain a pink-brick facade" consider "have" a pink...
Y "the two center bays of the Wolcott's facade has oriel windows" consider "have"
Y "Near the center of the hotel, there were also a palm room to the left of the lobby" consider "was".
Y "The ground story also contains a ballroom covering 3,500" consider has instead of contains
Y "little chicken that come unplucked from the Jersey farms" does the quote say "come" or came?
Y "the hotel become a shelter for homeless former prisoners" consider "became"
I have done all of the above. Regarding the chicken quote, the original source says "come", as it was a contemporary brochure published from the time of the hotel's opening.

Citations
Y Site section citations check out,
Y Architecture section cotations check out
Y Facade citations check out
Y Features sections checks out
Y Public rooms section, I am having trouble confirming this citation for "The lobby ends at a checkout counter."
The source says: "But the lobby ends abruptly with a modest check-in desk, which shuts off what was formerly an equally elaborate ballroom." I've fixed this.
