Crystal Palace, Exhibition building in Downtown Montreal, Canada.
The Crystal Palace featured an iron framework with a tinned barrel-vaulted nave and glass facades complemented by white brick walls with rose accents.
The Board of Arts and Manufacture constructed this exhibition hall in 1860 to prepare for the Prince of Wales visit to Montreal.
The Industrial Exhibition within the Crystal Palace displayed Canadian products including minerals, native woods, seeds, textiles, and machinery from British North America.
The structure measured 180 by 120 feet and contained two interior galleries extending twenty feet wide around the perimeter of the building.
During winter months, the exhibition space transformed into one of Canada's first indoor ice skating rinks, documented in early hockey photographs from 1881.
