Category: Building Type

The nineteenth century saw the perfection of the greenhouse as an environment suitable for the growth of exotic plants. Most of the great private and public greenhouses were built at this time, including the Chatsworth Conservatory and the Palm House at Kew, both in England, and the Enid A Haupt Conservatory (National Historic Landmark, listed 1967) at the New York Botanical Gardens. The nineteenth century also saw the construction of the great glass exhibition palaces, the London and New York Crystal Palaces, built with the same technology as the plant houses. After the middle of the century, prefabricated wood and glass greenhouses were manufactured in large numbers in both England and America. - NRHP
