Inside the Subtropical House of the Botanic Garden's Conservatory 

 shortly after it was first planted. The drinking fountain in the fore- 

 ground has since been removed. 



Near the house, there was a smaller (4,000-square-foot) 

 conservatory built in 1923 that was used for exhibiting citrus 

 plants, cycads, crotons, camellias, and other cool house 

 plants. This conservatory, designed and built by the 

 American Greenhouse Manufacturers Company, contained 

 a rockery with a pool, free planting areas, and a show house. 

 Another two-story structure on the property was used by 

 the Garden as a carpenter shop and storage shed. Both 

 structures were removed in the early 1950s after having 

 badly deteriorated.
