Restoration in Progress:
Upper Garden Wall:
In 1785, the upper garden was expanded to the size it is today. At that time, a brick wall was installed here. A portion of that wall survives, while much of it was replaced in 1951.
The wall is now being restored again to correct its significant lean and cracking, and to prevent collapse. Many of the original 18th-century bricks are being reused along with restoration bricks hand-made to match.
Work will be completed in late 2014/early 2015. |
