Greenhouse of Luther Burbank, famed nurseryman and horticulturalist. In 1885, Luther Burbank bought a four acre plot of land on the southern edge of Santa Rosa. On this site, he worked for forty-one years as a nurseryman and horticulturalist on this site. In about 1889, he built the present greenhouse on the site directly south of the house. An itemized bill exists in Burbank's hand with the heading "Greenhouse, Jan. 1, 1890." Shortly after Luther Burbank's death in 1926, Elizabeth Burbank, his wife, remodeled both the residence on this site and the surroundings including the greenhouse. -Notes from Library of Congress, "Luther Burbank House, Greenhouse, 200 Santa Rosa Avenue, Santa Rosa, Sonoma County, CA"Photograph Details
