The summer house will also be rebuilt in its first form with a new statue of Mars upon its top. Now that the grand old mansion has escaped the hand of the destroyer and its future seems assured by the public interest aroused thereto, the article quoted from is of especial interest. Possibly its allusion to the tiled fire places and iron firebacks stimulated investigation, resulting in their restoration.
