The Turlington Camellia Solar House is a small greenhouse built into a hill just north of the main greenhouse at the Birmingham Botanical Gardens. It was dedicated on October 18, 1987 in memory of Lee Turlington, first president of the Birmingham Botanical Society.
The low, gabled structure has glazed skylights on the south-facing roof and wood shingles on the north side. The west end burrow into the slope and the east side has a small brick sunken patio flanked by retaining walls.
