Buena Vista Sunrooms is proud to be an exclusive distributor of the original Lord & Burnham line of greenhouses and parts, manufactured for us by Under Glass Manufacturing Corporation.

Under Glass Mfg. Corp. is the exclusive manufacturer of the original Lord & Burnham greenhouses and solariums. They were established in 1989 after acquiring the Lord & Burnham product line.

The Lord & Burnham line of greenhouses has been continually manufactured since 1849. Frederick A. Lord and his son-in-law, William A. Burnham formed a partnership and incorporated in 1883 as Lord's Horticultural manufacturing Company. In 1890 the name was changed to Lord & Burnham Company.

Early greenhouses were made of cypress wood and iron or steel. Experimentation with aluminum as a material for greenhouse construction was started as early as 1932 when the U.S. Botanic Gardens in Washington, D.C. were built. However, it was not until 1955 that greenhouses with exterior members of aluminum had reached a point where they were competitive with wood construction.

The Orlyt line of hobby greenhouses was introduced in wood in 1939 and redesigned in 1954 with aluminum. Under Glass continues to manufacture this line of hobby greenhouses, and Buena Vista distributes them nationally. Over the years some modifications have been made, but the basic design and quality remain the same.
