UNKNOWN. The New Victoria Regia House-Exterior, Chatsworth House, Derbyshire,1850. Creator: Unknown.

UNKNOWN. The New Victoria Regia House - Exterior, Chatsworth House, Derbyshire, 1850. A lecture was given at the Society of Arts in London '...by Mr. Paxton, of Chatsworth, the designer of the Industrial Palace now rising in Hyde-Park, on the origin and mode of construction of that building...The new Victoria Regia House, which presents a light and novel appearance, is 60 feet 6 inches in length, and 46 feet 9 inches in breadth. Although, when compared with the Great Industrial Building, the Victoria House is a very diminutive structure, yet the principles on which it is constructed are the same, and may be carried out to an almost unlimited extent. The form of the roof, the general elevation, the supports, and the mode of construction are all quite simple, and yet fully answer the purposes for which they were intended'. From "Illustrated London News", 1850.
