The Crystal Palace, Greenhouse in England
The Crystal Palace was a monumental structure in London, designed by architects Joseph Paxton and Owen Carter Jones.
The Crystal Palace became a symbol of innovation during the Industrial Revolution and represented Britain's imperial power.
Despite being destroyed by fire in 1936, its influence remains significant and its site is now known as Crystal Palace Park.
The term 'Crystal Palace' has since been used to describe large-scale glass and iron structures around the world.
