Jewel Box
An Art Deco glass greenhouse in Forest Park, completed in 1936, with seasonal flower shows and a reflecting pool and fountain outside.
The Jewel Box was designed by William C. E. Becker and is known for its stepped glass façades and vertical steel frames; it is a building listed on the National Register of Historic Places. The greenhouse changes its flower displays each season, with poinsettias at Christmas and Easter lilies the most popular. Outside, the reflecting pool and lawn are often used for wedding photos. Admission is only a few dollars, and it is free on Monday and Tuesday mornings. The greenhouse is small, so it's best visited on the way through Forest Park.
