This project for Phipps Conservatory is the seventh major restoration effort in the complex of thirteen turn of the 20th century glasshouses. The South Conservatory was renovated in the early 1960’s but that project incorporated modern aluminum rafters and wider glass than the original. The current project includes complete new aluminum replicated rafters, safety glass glazing system in the original width and new automatic roof vent sash operating systems.
