There is work that is possible for the future but had to be saved for someone who might come along with the money. That may never happen. That's the truth. What has been done with the Palace is a major accomplishment and I said that. Now let's bring some people in to enjoy it.<br /><br />Although you don't identify yourself I'm guessing you were involved in the restoration. As you know, there are tons of challenges associated with historic preservation - including budgets - and often the approach and the results are controversial. You can't deny that. But because I saw the "before" shots, I know how remarkable the recovery of areas like the stairwells are, but I don't have those "before" photos to share that with my reaers. Feel free to provide them or post a link to them in the comments.Sandi Hemmerleinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16500439516140538378noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1350406615166417147.post-3623330044380487852012-07-18T21:53:25.697-07:002012-07-18T21:53:25.697-07:00Nice pictures accompanied by a snooty review of th...Nice pictures accompanied by a snooty review of the enormous and passionate work already done. Compliments should showered on these craftsmen and women for bringing the Palace back this far. People will come and see her as she returns to her glory. Be encouraging...at the very least.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1350406615166417147.post-43053488601516286192012-07-16T15:00:25.824-07:002012-07-16T15:00:25.824-07:00These are some really cool and artzy photos, thank...These are some really cool and artzy photos, thank you for taking and posting them.rnder Lifehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01610000266709715487noreply@blogger.com
