The Volunteer Park Conservatory is a botanical garden and conservatory located at the north end of Volunteer Park on Capitol Hill.

 

The City’s Parks Department staff erected the building, completing the work in 1912.

 

In 1922, the conservatory added growing greenhouses in order to grow and propagate plants. Made up of 3,426 glass panes fit into a wood and iron frame-work, this Victorian-style greenhouse structure is modeled on London's Crystal Palace.
