Allan Green Conservatory, Botanical greenhouse in Perth, Australia
Description
The Allan Green Conservatory was a botanical greenhouse with a distinctive pyramid shape in Perth. Elevated walkways allowed visitors to observe tropical plants from different heights throughout the structure.
History
The conservatory opened in 1979 as part of Western Australia's 150th-anniversary celebrations. It operated until 2006, when it closed before being demolished in 2012.
Culture
The conservatory was named after William Allan McInnes Green, a longtime town clerk and chief executive of Perth. The name honors his contributions to the city's growth and development.
Practical
The structure was located on Esplanade Reserve until its demolition in June 2012. It was removed to make way for the Elizabeth Quay development that now occupies the site.
Did you know?
The structure housed numerous exotic tropical plants and rare palms that did not naturally occur in Perth's environment. This collection gave visitors a glimpse of botanical species that were completely foreign to the local landscape.
