With it's steeply pitched roof, glass cupola and projecting gable entries
on four sides, this classically "English-styled" greenhouse is the jewel
beside an elegantly detailed New England manor.

The architect sketched the basic size and shape of the custom
greenhouse and then turned the design over to Tanglewood for
refinement. Several variations were considered and ultimately
this classically proportioned, elegant greenhouse design was
selected. Dentil mouldings, pilasters and trim continue the
character of the main house but resist the temptation to become
mere copies.
An unusual feature of this otherwise freestanding greenhouse is
the way in which it can be entered. A sunken passageway
covered with a glass roof
