Requested move 6 May 2025
Immaculate Conception Rectory (Revere, Massachusetts) → Revere History Museum – This building has functioned as a local history museum since at least the 2000s and recently underwent renovations and an expansion to its collection. I don't currently know of any public domain images, but a quick google will show that even the signage out front of the building has no mention of the building being a rectory. While of course mention of the rectory should be retained in the article, I believe this article would be more recognizable as "Revere History Museum." Of course, "Museum of the Revere Society for Cultural and Historic Preservation" is another option, but "Revere History Museum" is obviously more concise and is the exact phrase written over the front doorway and used on the museum's social media profiles.

- Leaning opposed: What matters is what is notable about the site, not what it is currently being used for. There is no Wikipedia guideline that says that articles should have titles that describe the current status of the subject, and Wikipedia is not a tour guide. The primary notability of this building seems to be its historic status, not its current use. It is registered in the NRHP as the Immaculate Conception Rectory. — BarrelProof (talk) 01:32, 7 May 2025 (UTC)
- Oppose. It's the building that's significant and heritage-listed, not what it contains. -- Necrothesp (talk) 13:32, 7 May 2025 (UTC)
