But only to rise up again. At the end of April this year, the Lin An-T'ai ku-ts'o found a new home in Taipei, in Pin Chiang Park. In a massive, extended undertaking, involving 20,982 planks and beams, 38,093 bricks, 240,050 pieces of tile and 95 windows, the house was taken apart piece by piece and relocated to its new site.
然而，就在台北市另一角落的濱江公園裡，師傅們正一椿一鎚地，用當年解體的二萬零九百八十二才樑柱、三萬八千零九十三塊磚石、廿四萬零五十片瓦……，以及九十五樘窗扇、卅二件雕刻，奇蹟似地重新撐起這座近二百年歷史，也是台北市碩果僅存的完整四合院建築。
