I reverted your change and that of another editor who made a similar but less extensive change recently.

Do you have evidence that sources other than this company are referring to the building and grounds under the new name of the company?

It's not uncommon for businesses to change names but people still refer to the building or site under the old name.

If reliable sources such as newspapers or better yet, the National Register of Historic Places and similar "historical authorities," are mostly using a newer name, then go ahead and update the article but include at least 1 or 2 sources to back up the claim, then go to WP:Requested moves, scroll down to the technical edits section, and ask that the page be moved to the new name. Please bear in mind that the proper Wikipedia title, and the way it the building and grounds should be referred to in the article, is by the term used by people outside the company, so you might have to provide several additional links to other reliable sources to convince the "page mover" to move the page for you.

By the way, {{DISPLAYTITLE}} is used to do things like italicize titles. It can't actually change them. See WP:DISPLAYTITLE for details. davidwr/(talk)/(contribs) 20:47, 19 October 2020 (UTC)[reply]
