Adelaides' Historical Glasshouse

by Tim Lubcke

This Glasshouse was built in 1877 as a Tropical Planthouse in the Adelaide Botanic Gardens. It is said to be one of only two left in the world, the other is suppose to be in Canada. They originated in Germany and most were destroyed in the two world wars. It was renovated in the mid 1990s. I think it is a lovely structure and I like to visit it when I'm in the Adelaide Botanical Gardens
