Title	Perspective-view toward northwest Denver Botanic Gardens Tropical Conservatory
Creator(s)	Hornbein and White.
Summary	Perspective of the southeast side of the modernist style Mitchell Hall, Gates Hall, tropical conservatory and library at the Denver Botanic Gardens, 1005 York Street, Cheesman Park neighborhood, Denver, Colorado, ca.1962. The site is dominated by the tropical conservatory, with the walls and ceiling of this structure constructed out of cement formed into a diamond latticework with the overall shape of a large, modified catenary arch. Diamond shaped, convex windows fill the cement latticework allowing proper light penetration to the plantings inside the conservatory. In contrast, a similar stylized four sided pyramidal roof with solid diamond shapes is found on Mitchell Hall in front of the structure.
