Postcard of the Palm House at the Duthie Park
886 The Palm House, the original Winter Gardens, was designed by the city architect, Mr Rust, and erected in 1899. It was constructed from St. Petersburg redwood and cost £1,550 in total. The roof of the Palm House suffered extensive damage during a storm in May 1969 and after 70 years of public use the building had to be demolished and rebuilt. The new Winter Gardens was opened by Lord Provost R. S. Lennox on 9th April 1970. |
