Right Hand Glasshouse On North West Side Of Botanical Gardens

The right-hand glasshouse on the north-west side of the Botanical Gardens in Sheffield was built between 1837 and 1838, with alterations made in the mid-20th century. Designed by BB Taylor, it features ashlar and render construction, with a cast-iron frame supporting a glazed square domed roof. The roof has a central light surrounded by a metal balustrade designed to resemble leaves. The building has a plinth, Corinthian pilasters, and an entablature. It is a single-storey structure with three rows of three bays. The central entrance consists of double doors with sidelights and a cross casement overlight. On each side of the entrance, there are large glazing bar cross casements, and the right return has three similar casements. The left return is rendered. This glasshouse is part of a group of three originally connected by colonnades.
