There is a central dome rising nearly 60 feet (18 m.) high) with arch shaped wings of 240 feet (73 m.). Covering the building is twenty–six thousand square feet of glass, but it looked more like white cement than glass. There are over 16,000 windowpanes weighing twenty–five tons. Most of the small windows are colored. The conservatory is painted white to reduce light and heat, and to keep its historical looks. back to Physical and Natural Features of the Conservatory
