The Curvilinear Range at the National Botanic Gardens, Glasnevin, Dublin

Richard Turner built this long run of curved glass and iron at Glasnevin in stages between 1843 and 1869, and the photo centers on its tall middle pavilion with the low wings running off either side. By the late twentieth century it had decayed badly, and the restoration completed in 1995, for the gardens' bicentenary, reused most of Turner's original ironwork. Of all the houses in this gallery it shows best how light a curvilinear iron frame can look, almost lace against the Dublin sky.
