	+ ------ + ''2015-03-23 12:27:53'' [[nbsp]] This is such a wonderful little hidden gem in Rochester. Despite being a poor graduate student, I make a point to buy a membership every year; its well worth the money. Visiting year round is great, but I make a point to go sit in the cactus room in the middle of winter, when I'm really getting some seasonal blues. --["Users/LauraShum"]

	+ ------ + ''2013-03-05 08:12:36'' [[nbsp]] The conservatory is a wonderful place! It's my winter mini-vacation get-away. By Feb. or March I am just DONE with winter, and longing for warmth. The tropical room with the babbling brook, the sweet little turtles and birds, the exotic plants towering overhead and the so-welcome humidity and greenness...that's my secret to surviving late winter! + I can't believe anyone complains about the price of admission. $10 per YEAR is a DEAL! Well worth it. As for those who are unable to pay that fee, maybe a "random acts of kindness" center could be set up, where people could choose to sponsor a free membership, which could then be given to someone coming in who is unable to pay. --["Users/BarbaraHealy"]

- Special events and exhibitions of far off floral wonders continued to delight generations of Rochesterians. The structure would expand over time and its interiors would become known as a tranquil destination or even a tropical respite to Rochester’s chilly winters. Located in ["Highland Park"], the '''Lamberton Conservatory''' displays exotic flowers and foliage plants from around the world in lush tropical settings. - - By 2006, the original building had deteriorated to the point that it was not cost effective to maintain and like most historic structures of that period, time had just gotten the better of it. But in 2007, the Monroe County Parks Department sought the one million dollars it needed to do a complete tear down and historic reconstruction, maintaining every possible detail of the original design. The newly restored section of the Conservatory has approximately 1,800 square feet of floor area and boasts nearly 1,000 brand new panes of glass specially formed for structures of this type. The full restoration had become a reality because high temperatures and humidity, required for the tropical displays, had taken quite a toll on the steel as well as the glass that was more than 80% original. The original Conservatory was dis-assembled right down to its foundation and reconstructed with modern materials, as an exact replica of the historic structure. The existing steel framework was removed and used as a pattern for the new galvanized steel framing system. The original interior cypress gutter system was salvaged, refurbished and reused as were the operable ridge-vent, the exterior cast iron gutter system, and the memorial to Alexander B. Lamberton that is, once again, mounted over the front doors.	+ Special events and exhibitions of far off floral wonders continued to delight generations of Rochesterians.
