The Bailey Guard Gate

The Bailey Guard Gate: Doing too good a job can make something look artificial. Repairing the walls of the Residency was important to prevent them crumbling but the job has been done too perfectly! The Supreme Court had once observed that preservation does not mean reconstruction. That is what has happened here. But like the Alamo, San Antonio, Texas that draws people interested in American history what has been done here is good. The Alamo on the other hand had been destroyed completely, which makes one wonder about the present construction that people visit.
