Abstract:

Tryon's Palace, once called the most beautiful building in either North or South America, is to be rebuilt, using the original plans which were discovered in the New York Historical Society after being “lost” for ninety years. A fire destroyed the main building and one wing in 1798. Estimated cost is between one-half and one million dollars.
