That's my fault because I thought wikipedia:no original research in its section on primary, secondary and tertiary sources was discouraging primary sources in wikipedia because interpretation of primary sources should be done by a published source and THEN be used in wikipedia, but re-reading it I see that it does make an exeption if the primary source can be considered reliable and not likely to be misinterpreted by wikipedians. I see the difference now and how the other sites are probably plagiarizing since you're correct they dont cite sources (a kinda disheartening realization that a school website is plagiarizing...). I was editing in good faith, I wanted to add info from a wide range of sources instead of just relying on just the NRHP which is something you brought to the table, I really wanted to bring something different and contribute myself. What do you think about that Popular Science article from 1912 could that be used, I think it brought a pretty cool first hand account of the opening, and its kinda exciting that a building in lil ole Albany got mentioned in a magazine like that!
