Morris Arboretum's world-renowned Fernery celebrates its Centennial on June 30. The Dorrance H. Hamilton Fernery was designed and built by John Morris in 1899 as a conservatory devoted entirely to ferns-a plant that held particular fascination in Victorian times. Today, it is the only such private estate fernery that still exists in the U.S. The Fernery, restored in 1996, won a preservation commendation by the Victorian Society in America. The architecture firm that supervised the Fernery's restoration was Hyman Myers of the Vitteta Group. Restoration of the glass roof's original elegant and graceful lines was based on original blueprints, period photographs and the surviving curved, wrought iron roof trusses which served as patterns (see Special Events). |
