Soon after WWII the pier experienced a second disaster when the Canadian 'Port Royal Park' was driven against the pier in a severe gale, destroying a large section of the structure. Repairs took two years to complete and cost £28,000 to underpin the cast iron columns and install some concrete columns.

This table combines French and English features to form a highly successful American type. The carved and pierced griffin panel ornament, which is more commonly found rendered in paint on fancy chairs from Philadelphia and Baltimore, is based closely upon Thomas Sheraton’s “Ornament for a Frieze or Tablet,” published and dated October 1791 in “The Cabinet Maker’s and Upholsterer’s Drawing-Book.” Illustrations from this pattern book also appear on Barry’s elaborate trade label, which is affixed to the underside of the top.
