| Long known as Lyman Plant House, the Conservatory is named for the Lyman family of Northampton, owners of one of the homesteads making up Smith's original campus. The primary donor of seed money for the Conservatory was Edward H. R. Lyman, whose summer estate off South Street is now the site of the campus preschool and also the Botanic Garden's 15-acre Fort Hill Nursery. |
