onstructed in 1915 at a cost of $6,340.00, the Moninger Greenhouses provided plants, flowers, and vegetables for daily use at Fair Lane. The attached two-story Potting Shed contained the Gardener's office, from which garden and landscape projects were governed. This structure had its own boiler system, allowing for regulated steam heat in the various rooms of the Greenhouses. A lower room  housed the backup battery system, used to power the residence in the event of a powerhouse systems failure.

In 1952 the Greenhouse glass was removed and the wood frame structures were taken down. Today the Potting Shed is used as the ticket office, the starting point for tours at the Henry Ford Estate.
