Garfield Park Conservatory to unveil new glass roof
|
Chicago Mayor Richard Daley is scheduled to cut the ribbon today on a new pane-glass roof at the Garfield Park Conservatory. It's just one of the many new details at the two-acre indoor garden on the city's west side.
This weekend, a new exhibit will open to the public. It consists of replica dinosaur bones snuggled into the vegetation.
And a new two (m) million dollar outdoor garden is scheduled to open this summer.
Garfield Park has had a conservatory since the late 1800s. The current building opened in 1908 and was designed to look like a landscape under glass.
The glass was replaced in the 1950s with plexiglass panels.
The new 75-hundred-pane glass roof cost four (m) million dollars.
