New York's Crystal Palace seems like something out of a dream, a shimmering and spectacular glass-and-steel structure -- a gigantic greenhouse -- which sat in the area of today's Bryant Park. In 1853 this was the home to the Exhibition of the Industry of All Nations, a dizzying presentation of items, great and small, meant to\xa0exemplify mankind's industrial might.\nWe take you on a breathtaking tour of the Palce\xa0and its legendary exhibition, including the Latting Observatory (the tallest building in New York!)\nWhatever happened to the Crystal Palace? And what inventions\xa0contained within do we still benefit from today?\nwww.boweryboyshistory.com\n\nSupport the show: https://www.patreon.com/boweryboys
