    Lee bought the old building. This building was burned by some mistake and Master Lee got it built and slated in 1842.
    This is the riddle of the quill pen:-
    " They took me from my mother's side
    Where I was kindly fed.
    And when I came to perfect age
    They then cut off my head.
    All that and more they done with me
    My mission to fulfill.
    I have no power by myself,
    But by my guider's will "
