Significant Vandalism

Significant malicious damage to an urn on a pedestal at the Vanderbilt mansion was discovered on the morning of June 18th. The urn was so severely damaged that it’s doubtful that it can be either repaired or conserved. The urn is believed to be from the 19th century and original to the mansion’s west portico. The value of the urn has been placed at $4,800.
