Crystal Palace remnants
Crystal Palace was a large multistory glass and cast-iron structure built in Hyde Park, London in 1851. It used a clever modular construction, as seen in the sketch below. The temporary exhibition featured some 100,000 objects, displayed along a massive floor-space, by over 15,000 contributors. For half a year it attracted more than five million people who came to be informed, entertained, and impressed. As planned it was then razed. A full-scale replica was later built in South London's Sydenham Hill, which unfortunately burned to the ground in 1936. Today all that remains at the South London site are a small number of exterior stone remnants.
