Built just a year before Brookfield Zoo opened in 1934, this building was named the Primate House. Matching the architectural style of the South Gate, it initially housed a variety of primates. In 1996, the building was renovated and the entire focus of the exhibit changed to swamp animals and the importance of swamps as ecosystems.
