photograph
of
Heinrichs
Greenhouse
shows
the
center
walk
,
steam
and
water
lines
,
manual
vent
controls
, and
tomatoes
on
strings
.
It
was
built
by
Ollie
and
Carl
Heinrichs
in
1928
;
Carl
bought
Ollie
out
in
1934
.
Later
,
Carl's
son
Gilbert
Heinrichs
invented
a
pollinating
machine
that
reduced
the
amount
of
labor
required
to
grow
tomatoes
.
When
the
greenhouse
closed
in
1976
,
part
of the
glass
went
to
another
greenhouse
in
Georgia
.
Greenhouses
were
one
of the
dominant
enterprises
in
Lorain's
Columbia
Township
from
1928
to
1982
.
According
to
statistics
kept
by the
Florist
and
Gardner's
Insurance
Association
, there was
more
area
under
glass
in
Ohio
than in
all
of the
rest
of the
world
put
together
.
Columbia
Township
was an
ideal
location
for
greenhouses
because
of its
convenient
access
to
markets
,
coal
, and
water
. At
one
time
there were
25
greenhouses
in
Columbia
Township
, and from
1950
to
1970
there were
65
acres
under
glass
.
Tomatoes
were the
predominant
crop
of the
greenhouses
. A
typical
year
between
1952
and
1970
produced
624,000
pounds
of
tomatoes
.
Rising
labor
costs
,
river
pollution
,
increased
fuel
costs
, and
availability
of
vegetables
from the
southern
states
lead
to the
decline
of the
vegetable
greenhouses
in
Columbia
Township
in the
1980s
.
