Eden

Located
between
Gilbert
Avenue
and
Columbia
Parkway
(U.S.)
and
comprised
of
about
185
acres
in the
Mount
Adams
community
of
Cincinnati
,
Ohio
,
Eden
Park
was
assembled
by a
series
of
purchases
beginning
in
1859
. The
name
came
,
naturally
, from the
Garden
of
Eden
and was
given
by
Nicholas
Longworth
who
owned
a
large
tract
which
constitutes
the
main
portion
of the
park
.
Eden
Park
is
the
home
of the
Cincinnati
Art
Museum
,
Cincinnati
Art
Academy
, the
Navigation
Monument
, the
Capitoline
Wolf
Statue
, and the
Irwin

Krohn
(Eden
Park)
Conservatory
.
Conservatory
Eden
Park’s
first
greenhouses
,
built
in the
1880s
, were
used
strictly
for
growing
plants
. In
1902
, a
new
greenhouse
designed
for
public
displays
was
opened
. The
following
year
, the
display
greenhouse
held
a
chrysanthemum
show
, and the
Park
Board
decided
to
maintain
a
consistent
change
of
plants
and
flowers
to
keep
displays
new
and
attractive
to
visitors
. As a
result
,
more
than
300,000
people
visited
the
greenhouse
in its
first
two
years
. In
1930
, the
Park
Board
decided
to
replace
its
old
greenhouse
buildings
with a
modern
plant
conservatory
. The
new
building
was
designed
in the
Art
Deco
style
, the
leading
design
movement
of the
1920s
&
‘30s
, and was
built
of
aluminum
and
glass
. The
Eden
Park
Conservatory
opened
to the
general
public
on
Sunday
,
March
26
,
1933
.
December
of that
year
, the
Conservatory
began
a
holiday
tradition
of
exhibiting
its
Educational
Christmas
Tree
,
decorated
with
ornaments
made
of
natural
materials
and
crafted
by
Conservatory
horticulturists
. On
April
30
,
1937
, the
Board
officially
named
the
new
conservatory
the
Irwin
M
.
Krohn
Conservatory
, in
honor
of
Irwin
Krohn's
25
years
of
service
on the
Board
of
Park
Commissioners
