Tony showed us around and gave us an overview on what it takes to restore a building as old as ours. I think I agree with him when he talks about the renovation of the roof, those lanterns are pretty impressive.

What do you think?

Our own Kate Andrews was there in May when Balfour Beatty added the second cupola to the top of the building – here are her shots.  Enjoy.
