Nice photo, if you are anything like me wouldn't you just love to take photos such as this without the people in it?

That's a beautiful old building and setting ddrum. You did it justice.

I have a photo of Phipps Conservatory in Pittsburgh PA that reminds me a lot of this building. Let me know if it's okay to post on your thread

I wonder who the architect was. Very modern looking for the time. Nice building, great picture.

The glass dome in the front is part of the new welcome center and that's only 7 years old. The original building is what you see behind the new part. The original architects were a firm called Lord & Burnham from New York in 1893. Ain't google wonderful!

One of my favorite places to go and shoot. Love all the plants and orchids inside and the waterlilies outside. Nice picture.
