Miller Park Aviary

Formally part of the Miller Park Zoo, the Aviary was once home to exotic birds and animals. This building was built in 1902 and is a part of the National Historic Registry. The building was a gift to the city of Lynchburg from Randolph Guggenheimer of New York City. When completed, the Aviary housed, "seven cages containing monkeys, one with with at least a half dozen healthy alligators, one with cockatoos, one with Australian doves, one with parrots, and one with canaries." It later became a branch library and an office structure for the city Department of Parks and Recreation.
