Additional Comments
July 2001-With regard to the greenhouse complex, the only historic-period building is a circa-1920s, gambrel roof barn sheathed with vertical board siding and topped with an asphalt roof. The barns east sidewall is pierced with a large garage door. Other buildings include a modern, metal-clad office/storage building and an undetermined number of glass-and-clear plastic-sheathed greenhouses located at the rear of the property.

Limited historical material was uncovered for this property. City appraisal records state that the residence was constructed in 1925. In 1930, a plat map reveals that C. W. Wendorf likely owned the tract. It is not understood if Wendorf operated a greenhouse; however, it is know that Paul Burner operated a greenhouse on the plot for several decades before selling in 1988 to Marvin and Paul Polzer. Currently the property is the site of "Floral-ific Creations."
