Location Problems 
Sometimes just because a man can’t see how a greenhouse can 
be erected on his only available space, he gives it up. When 
he does that sort of thing, it’s a mistake. We can’t recall a 
single instance where such a proposition has been referred to 
us, that we didn’t solve it, and solve it with least expense. 
This three-quarter span house, you see, really hangs on the 
hillside where the ground recedes very rapidly ; at the rear is 
a high stone wall. This case was not so difficult, but it shows 
we can do things. We have been building greenhouses for 
fifty years, and that means something. Get in touch with us.
