Dzięki szerokiemu wsparciu konserwatorów, ustawodawców i Teksańczyków ze wszystkich środowisk, podpalacz nie otrzymał ostatniego słowa w historii tego teksańskiego skarbu.

With broad support from preservationists, lawmakers and Texans from all walks of life, the arsonist has not been given the last word in the history of this Texas treasure. The Governor’s Mansion has been fully restored and will be occupied by governors and their families for many more decades to come.
