Weir Greenhouse, Victorian greenhouse at Fifth Avenue in Sunset Park, Brooklyn, United States
The Weir Greenhouse features a rectangular wood frame with galvanized iron design, projecting bays, domes, and an octagonal entrance with a cupola.
Built in 1895 by James Weir Jr., this greenhouse remained a family business until 1971 when ownership transferred to the McGovern family.
The structure represents one of only two remaining Victorian-era greenhouses in New York City, alongside the Enid A. Haupt Conservatory in the Bronx.
Located at 750-751 Fifth Avenue, the greenhouse stands across from Green-Wood Cemetery and now undergoes restoration to become the cemetery's visitor center.
The building's iron and glass framework has endured through three centuries, marking its place in Brooklyn's architectural and commercial evolution.
