Orphaned references in Marcel Breuer

I check pages listed in Category:Pages with incorrect ref formatting to try to fix reference errors. One of the things I do is look for content for orphaned references in wikilinked articles. I have found content for some of Marcel Breuer's orphans, the problem is that I found more than one version. I can't determine which (if any) is correct for this article, so I am asking for a sentient editor to look it over and copy the correct ref content into this article.

Reference named "Goldberger":

• From Vlastimil Koubek: Goldberger, Paul. "Washington Buildings: Low Profile and Boxlike Design." New York Times. December 29, 1975.
• From Robert C. Weaver Federal Building: Goldberger, "Marcel Breuer, 79, Dies," New York Times, July 2, 1981.

I apologize if any of the above are effectively identical; I am just a simple computer program, so I can't determine whether minor differences are significant or not. AnomieBOT⚡ 23:49, 19 June 2015 (UTC)

Bronx Community College missing or originally done for NYU or Hunter?

There are a lot of available photos of Bronx Community College buildings (originally Breuer dormitory, now classroom). Where does this fit in the list of works? It is currently missing unless, after being developed for these other clients it became BCC? Good Curbed article here too: Marcel Breuer's Bronx Community College Campus, a Hidden NYC Gem and good pictures hereWikimedia Commons Category Bronx Community College KevinCuddeback (talk) 16:21, 30 June 2020 (UTC)

great job!

I really appreciated the Chronology of Breuer's work. I think linking to the other pages of artists he worked with on some of the homes would be beneficial.

One of the references uses the way back machine, not sure if that is an acceptable form of citation.
