Located in the Northside area of Dublin, Ireland at the Irish National Botanic Gardens these series of glasshouses were unique and highly covetable at the time. The iron glasshouse and gardens were constructed between 1843 and 1869 by renowned designer, and native Dubliner, Richard Turner. The design of the conservatory may look familiar as Turner was responsible for designing the Glasshouse at Kew Gardens and Belfast. Both have since been restored with steel, so the initial construction has been slightly altered to accommodate.

The Curvilinear Range was restored in 1995 with repairs made in wrought iron. In comparison with other Turner designs, the Palm House at Kew Gardens is 30 feet longer and 32 feet taller ( at its highest point) than the Curvilinear Range. 

The Curvilinear Range was even featured in a range of Irish postage stamps during the 1980s. Providing an equally fascinting range of plants from Australia, Africa, and South America in the east wing and a beautiful display of tropical vireya rhododendrons in the west wing, there is always something new to explore!

Another fascinating glasshouse to explore at the Irish National Botanic Gardens is the Palm House. The Great Palm House is situated in the southern parts of the gardens. The main buildings measures 65 feet in height, 100 feet in length, and 80 feet in width, then attaches to a cactus house on the west and an orchid house to the east.
