Palace House Update from Lou Drake - 5/6/2014
Rich,
I happened to be in the area of the Palace House a couple of days ago - decided
to drive by to see if it still in place or succumbed to the developers - well -
I was very happy to see that it was not only still there but there were many new
big trees which obscured the view from the street of the old Palace House - I
noted that the IUCN (International Union for the Conservation of Nature) still
occupy the site - I plan on trying to get in to see how the old house has
survived over the many years since the old 5th RRU(P) days - just wanted to let
everyone know that the Palace House is still surviving after all these years -
an additional bit of info regarding the old Seri Court site - had driven by the
back entrance about a month ago and it still doesn't show any site of
development activity - so it too survives to this day
Just a little info for anyone interested.
