Interior view of Phipps Conservatory | Historic Pittsburgh

#Phipps #Conservatory was built in 1893 by Lord and Burnham (specialists in greenhouse design and construction) of Irvington, New York, who erected the first nine display houses.

Phipps Conservatory, located in the #Schenley #Park neighborhood of #Pittsburgh, was a gift to the City of Pittsburgh from industrialist/philanthropist, Henry Phipps.

Opened on December 7, 1893, it was the largest conservatory in the United States. In 1896, three more houses were added and in 1900 the City of Pittsburgh added nine growing houses to the rear of the structure.

The conservatory underwent extensive restoration and modernization during the late 1970s and early 1980s. Today, it is among the oldest and largest Victorian glasshouse in the nation.
