Restoration projects coupled with the addition of the deferred
maintenance workload has made the project list enormous through
June 30, 2001. Leading the list of projects is the rehabilitation
of the two 1930's greenhouse structures. These Lord & Burnham
steel "kits" were shipped from New York to San Simeon for the
purpose of propagating plantings for Hearst's formal gardens.

Currently,
Greenhouse "B" has been completely disassembled, steel frames
accurately repositioned, while staff is laboriously restoring
the bald cypress siding. When completed, this project will be
an impressive addition to the historic structures at the monument.
