The Lincoln Park Conservatory was constructed between 1890 and 1895. Conservatories were created when people grew concerned about industrialization and wanted to study and preserve plants. The building has an extremely unique look made of iron and glass. It was constructed by brilliant architects: Joseph Lyman Silsbee and M.E. Bell. There are four different display houses: the Fern House, the Palm House, the Orchid House and the Show House. Each house features a wide variety of fascinating plants from different climates around the world. A visit to the conservatory is free and it opens your eyes to a tropical forest of plants.
