From the 1999 Annual Report:

Gamposhar, one of the oldest buildings in the Barkor, had to be evacuated in the summer when it was discovered that the entire wooden roof beams had become rotten. THF had to open up the roof and replace it, along with most wooden pillars and beams in the entire building. $5,152 have been spent out of a total budget for Gamposhar of $20,752; also provided by the Royal Dutch Embassy Beijing.
