Corrections Policy

Last updated: 2026-09-24

Architecture is a discipline of precision. A wrong date, a misattributed plan, a misspelled architect's name: in this field, such errors are not trifles. They misrepresent the work, and the work is the point. When Estate & Design errs, we correct the record openly, and we leave the correction visible.

How to report an error

Use the corrections form on our contact page. Tell us which article the error appears in, what is wrong, what the correct information is, and where it can be verified. Architects, owners, stewards, scholars and readers receive the same careful attention.

What we correct

We correct substantive factual errors: wrong names, dates, attributions, measurements, materials, prices, provenances and materially misleading descriptions. The article is corrected promptly, and a dated correction note is added at the foot of the article describing what changed. Minor typographical errors are fixed without a note.

What a correction does not do

A correction repairs the record. It does not renegotiate an article's judgment. If new information materially changes a story, we update the article and note the update with its date. If a story's foundations prove unsound, we withdraw it with an explanation rather than editing it away silently.
