("tear out the 1913 ornate plaster ceiling? The 1890s carved baseboards?" etc. Figuring out where to run wires is not going to be easy.)
I shouldn't say "finished" about Rideau Hall, really; it's such a vast accreted pile that it probably can't ever be finished in the sense of "no outstanding maintenance". "Much more caught up than presently" might be the better way to put it.
