Hi Christa,
Yes, I would very much appreciate a copy of your SHA paper and thanks
for the additional sources as well. I will definitely send you a copy
of my results when they are available.
I would like to also thank everyone who sent suggestions and sources, I
knew I could count on HISTARCH.
Best,
Rob Mann

Subject: Re: conservatories, greenhouses, and orangeries
Hello Rob,
The Fiske Center at UMass Boston excavated a big section of an early
19th
century greenhouse in Waltham, Massachusetts in 2008. Leith Smith and I
are
working on the report now which should be finished in early 2011. Once
it's
done, it will be available from our website at
http://www.fiskecenter.umb.edu/Research/Reports_Publications.html
I can send you the SHA paper on the site if you'd like something sooner.
A student also completed a study of the planting pot fragments, which
should
be available through ProQuest soon if not already:
DeForest, Rita A.
2010 "A Good Sized Pot": Early 19th-Century Planting Pots
from
Gore Place, Waltham, Massachusetts. MA Thesis, University of
Massachusetts,
Boston.
Also, Mark Leone has been excavating at the Wye Greenhouse in Maryland.
Dennis Pogue published a very nice overview of greenhouses in the US
(aimed
at a general audience):
2009 "A Glassy Penthouse of Ignoble Form," *Early American
Life*40 (1): 38-45.

As I'm working on a similar topic, I'd love to see the results of your
work
when you are done. Most of my examples are much farther north than
yours,
but would be interesting to compare the regional differences.
Sincerely,
