The history and development of the gardens began with the donation of a five section of land in 1858 by George Allan, a prominent local politician and cultural leader.]]> 2019-01-31 01:05:47 UTC https://padlet.com/hhuang88/agctourassignment_trv106/wish/326100686 History of Allan Gardens Conservatory hhuang88 https://padlet.com/hhuang88/agctourassignment_trv106/wish/326100687 * The Conservatory dates back to 1858 when prominent local politician George Allan offered the Toronto Horticultural Society a five-section of land to develop a garden. 
* In 1864, the City of Toronto purchased the surrounding lands from Mr Allan, which was then released to the Horticultural Society on the condition that the grounds be publicly accessible and free of charge.
* In 1879 the Society opened a new Horticultural Pavilion which was in constant demand for promenade concerts, gala balls, conventions and flower shows. 
* In 1894 the City replaced the old conservatory with a more spacious one, but a disastrous fire on June 6, 1902, destroyed the Horticultural Pavilion and parts of the new conservatory.
* Robert McCallum designed its replacement, the classically proportioned domed Palm House which opened in 1910 and stands on the site today.
* The Conservatory grew to almost 13 acres in size and added two new display greenhouses in the 1920’s. 
* In 1957, it constructed additional greenhouse wings to expand conservatory display space and reconstructed the adjacent garden areas.
* The latest addition to the site is the Children’s Conservatory, which opened in 2004 until now.
