A Spanish coin of the year 1776 and bearing the stamp of Carolus III, was found by one of the workmen, and in one corner of the brick foundation several pieces of metal were discovered.

All of the twenty-eight Corinthian columns and capitals have been set, four in each of the four pavilions and twelve across the front of the building.
