Critics disagree on the quality of the work.
Some say it is excellent, others say good work for an amateur and some say it isn't outstanding at all. A castle in the larges mural over the main entrance to the ballroom, has been identified. In 1970, Wormald asked Ray White Jr., of the American consul in Munich to try to determine if the castle was painted from memory by the artist. White said an expert easily identified it Asrnech Castle in the Franconia area of West Germany. The castle is reflected in a shining lake.
