Under the Dome

The Belle Isle Conservatory (formally the Anna Scripps Whitcomb Conservatory) was designed and constructed in 1904, at the same time as the Detroit Aquarium. Both were designed by Alfred Kahn. There is free admission to both venues, and they are popular for wedding pictures.

 

The Conservatory was patterned after the "Crystal Palace" of the Kew Gardens.
