From a letter to his readers from Pat Conroy, '67, posted on his website, August 3, 2009: "We toured The Citadel and I pointed out the places I had lived when I was pretending to be a cadet. I owe The Citadel more than I can express in words. That day, The Citadel was beautiful in sunlight, and Charleston strutted in the beauty of all its strange elixirs." https://patconroy.com/letter-to-readers-august-2009/

By August 1, 1892, The Citadel at Marion Square had been restored and improved following the fire in March of that year. The Corps of Cadets returned on October 1, 1892.
