Krohn Conservatory

Nature
1
Krohn Conservatory in Eden Park, Cincinnati, opened in 1933 as a replacement for earlier park greenhouses dating to 1894 and was renamed in 1937 for park commissioner Irwin M. Krohn. Designed by Rapp and Meacham in an Art Deco style with the form of a Gothic arch, it remains a longstanding indoor garden attraction. After a damaging 1966 hailstorm, Lord and Burnham restored the building and replaced its wooden sashes with aluminum. The conservatory houses more than 3,500 plant species, including desert, orchid, tropical, palm, citrus, and bonsai collections, stages seasonal floral shows, and also serves as an event venue.
