circa 1890: The glass entrance of Kibble Palace at the Botanic Gardens in Glasgow. Kibble Palace was built by engineer John Kibble at his home in Loch Long and dismantled to be transported to Glasgow and reassembled in 1873. The building was originally used for events and both Disraeli and Gladstone spoke there as rectors of Glasgow University. The Royal Botanic collection was started in 1881 and the glass building now houses plants from temperate zones including New Zealand and the Mediterranean. (Photo by Hulton Archive/Getty Images)
