Described as the oldest conservatory in the United States, the Anna Scripps Whitcomb Conservatory can be found in Detroit, Michigan. When I first saw it I wondered why it looked so familiar, but apparently it is modelled on Monticello, the home of Thomas Jefferson that appeared on the five-cent coin of the US from 1938-2003.

If you are the manager of a conservatory and would like to be included in the directory please let us know,
