Fulfilling the wishes of Prince de Ligne, TBH,
assisted in many restorations, (photo right) for example, renewing
lost glory to a 14-seat set of French salon furniture for main
salon.
The furniture was in threadbare state
before the period silk brocade was be restored to perfect order.
Such architectural landmarks require mammoth
financial and labor support to keep in perfect order. Preservation
groups offer much needed assistance guided by the urgency and importance
of the proprietor. Other projects included
polishing and waxing a very special collection of antique leather-bound
books in the castle library.

An oversized graphite drawing was made of the beautiful architectural
specimen of the noted National Historic Register. From the
original a limited edition contributed
to the preservations of the structure which at the time was used as a
private academy. The home has since returned to residential use and is
currently owned by US Senator. When it was an academy it was usual
for parents to gift the artwork to children
attending the school as a graduation or other academic related keepsake.
The original can be seen in the permanent collection of DnD in Waterloo,
Belgium..
