I was there Jan 5, 2018. The main house was fine but I don't recall any working fountains like what I see from the historical photos on Trip Advisor. There is more foliage in these historical photos than what I saw but the grounds looked fine to me. There is a secondary structure on the grounds to the west and north of the main house that was undergoing rehab but I don't know if that work was hurricane related or a scheduled restoration. There was no public access to this secondary building. I'd go back to see it again.
