Volunteer Park Conservatory

1400 East Galer Street, Seattle, WA, 98112

Tuesday through Sunday

The Conservatory was among the earliest major additions to Volunteer Park. The project was proposed in 1893 as a Victorian-style greenhouse, meant to serve as the jewel box of Seattle's Olmsted Parks system. It would crown the north-end of Volunteer Park beyond its magnificent, tree-lined promenade. The City of Seattle purchased the conservatory design and framework as a kit. The entire structure was sent cross country by rail from the Hitchings Company of New York. The City's Parks Department erected the building and, in 1912, opened Volunteer Park Conservatory to great public fanfare. Modeled on the great Victorian conservatories of Europe, the building itself is a work of art and a living museum. It has housed an impressive collection of plant species from around the world for over a century. Original portions still intact today: The wooden (Swamp Cypress, Taxodium distichum) “peacock” window or lunette above the main entry, and the steel frame or “skeleton” manufactured by Carnegie Steel of Pittsburgh Pennsylvania. If you look closely you will see “carnegie steel” embossed on parts of this framework.
