Eden Park Conservatory Save

Description: Original description reads: "This interior view of the Conservatory in Eden Park shows the palm house, forty-five feet in height, with the waterfall around which many varieties of tropical palms and vines have been cultivated in imitation of an equatorial forest." Eden Park Located between Gilbert Avenue and Columbia Parkway (U.S.) and comprised of about 185 acres in the Mount Adams community of Cincinnati, Ohio, Eden Park was assembled by a series of purchases beginning in 1859. The name came, naturally, from the Garden of Eden and was given by Nicholas Longworth who owned a large tract which constitutes the main portion of the park. Eden Park is the home of the Cincinnati Art Museum, Cincinnati Art Academy, the Navigation Monument, the Capitoline Wolf Statue, and the Irwin M. Krohn (Eden Park) Conservatory. Conservatory Eden Park’s first greenhouses, built in the 1880s, were used strictly for growing plants. In 1902, a new greenhouse designed for public displays was opened. The following year, the display greenhouse held a chrysanthemum show, and the Park Board decided to maintain a consistent change of plants and flowers to keep displays new and attractive to visitors. As a result, more than 300,000 people visited the greenhouse in its first two years. In 1930, the Park Board decided to replace its old greenhouse buildings with a modern plant conservatory. The new building was designed in the Art Deco style, the leading design movement of the 1920s & ‘30s, and was built of aluminum and glass. The Eden Park Conservatory opened to the general public on Sunday, March 26, 1933. December of that year, the Conservatory began a holiday tradition of exhibiting its Educational Christmas Tree, decorated with ornaments made of natural materials and crafted by Conservatory horticulturists. On April 30, 1937, the Board officially named the new conservatory the Irwin M. Krohn Conservatory, in honor of Irwin Krohn's 25 years of service on the Board of Park Commissioners.
