- catalog description "In March 1805, a group of prominent Massachusetts citizens endowed a Massachusetts Professorship of Natural History, along with a Botanic Garden, at Harvard University, to promote commerce, agriculture, medicine, and the arts through the study of zoology, botany, and mineralogy. The Garden was officially opened in 1807. The site was developed into a center for research and instruction which housed a herbarium, laboratories, an auditorium, and a library. Due to the cost of this endeavor, research and instruction at the Garden was discontinued by the 1940s and the Garden itself became overgrown. In 1947, the City of Cambridge attempted to claim the site by eminent domain, which prompted Harvard to build the Botanic Garden Apartment complex that currently occupies the site.".
