The Jewel Box in Infrared - No. 3 - a photo on Flickriver

Built in 1936, the Jewel Box is a greenhouse located in Forest Park, St. Louis, Missouri. In 1913, the City’s Commissioner of Parks and Recreation expressed concern that the high levels of smoke and soot within the city might have negative consequences for the survival of local plants. A display greenhouse was set up to showcase various plants which could survive. The beautiful displays were described to be "like a jewel box." Later, in 1933, the Mayor of St. Louis decided to build a new facility. Designed by architect William C. E. Becker, the Jewel Box consists of 16,664 square feet of plate glass in over 4,000 panes, set in wood and wrought iron supports and framed by copper. The building cost $125,000 and opened on November 14, 1936. It now serves as a public horticultural facility and is listed on the National Register of Historic Places.
