A vintage 1960’s Lord and Burnham “ORLYT – Even Span 14”™ aluminum and glass greenhouse is located on the plaza adjoining the Library and has been in continuous operation for study and learning since the early 1960’s. The aluminum frame and glazing system sits atop a concrete block and stone veneer foundation knee wall. The glazing is clear annealed glass. The greenhouse was equipped with automatic roof vents, exhaust fan, circulation fans, space heater, plant benches, exterior shade cloth tie-downs, gable entrance door with insect screening and a work sink. A complete renovation is planned which will include new safety glazing, plant benching, shade system, environmental control system and new heating system.
