Needs Assessment and Master Plan

Harkness Estate greenhouses were a classic example of early 20th century large estate greenhouse complexes. The estate, now a state park property, has a fully restored main house and is starting the restoration of the greenhouses with the cooperation of the Friends of Harkness. The project will be completed in phases with the first phase focused on restoration of the headhouse, main power and mechanical systems and the show house. The steel frame work will be repaired and a new replicated aluminum glazing system will be installed.
