Description
The original standalone construction of the Franklin Park Conservatory is the only building represented in the collection outside of the Ohio State campus. The carefully manicured grounds in the image have since been built over with additions and developments, while the conservatory itself is now on the National Register of Historic Places. The car parked in front of the Conservatory carries two passengers, who may have posed for the camera, or perhaps Lytle caught them in a moment of stillness.
