Chicago - Garfield Park Conservatory
The Garfield Park Conservatory was built between 1906 and 1907 to house one of two historic, publicly owned botanical gardens operated by the Chicago Park District. Thousands of plants grow underneath the glass and metal roof to supply other parks in the city. Noted landscape architect Jens Jensen designed the prairie-school structure, in collaboration with the architecture firm of Schmidt, Garden and Martin and the New York engineering firm of Hitchings and Company.
