Lord & Burnham, Horticultural Architects and Builders
From the American Architect and Building News, July 25, 1896. Lord & Burnham designed Phipps Conservatory in 1892, which was probably their biggest commission ever; and in this 1896 advertisement for their services, we see them showing a model conservatory that is very much like one of the wings of Phipps.

Since today is supposed to be dedicated to all things frightful, here is a cycad whose very name tells you it is ferocious: Encephalartos ferox. It was growing and coning (the bright salmon-colored cone is a female cone) in the Fern Room at Phipps Conservatory. For the purposes of the Fern Room, cycads are honorary ferns.
