Conservatory of Flowers, Golden Gate Park
The Conservatory of Flowers is a large botanical greenhouse in San Francisco's Golden Gate Park, constructed in 1878. It houses an important collection of exotic plants and is the oldest building in Golden Gate Park. It is also the oldest wooden conservatory remaining in the United States. For these distinctions and for its associated historical, architectural, and engineering merits, the Conservatory of Flowers is listed on the National Register of Historic Places.
