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.
