This greenhouse, completed in the spring of 1997 was built using all recycled glass. The glass, which otherwise would have been discarded, was obtained from a university residence and from a high rise apartment, both being retrofitted with new windows. The roof uses two rows of 14" x 60" tempered patio glass doors. The sides use 32" x 34" sashes from sliders and the front uses sashes from old double hung windows. The south facing front wall is sloped at about 78 degrees. The structure consists of 12.5' x 26' concrete block foundation, 4" x 4" posts and a truss roof, all sized to fit the recycled windows. The trusses were home made from 2 x 4s and recycled plywood.

The high ceiling of the greenhouse makes it a pleasure to work in and its attractive front with the old sashes has enhanced the appearance of the old metal barn.
