The Great Conservatory, Syon House, Brentford, London

            In the early nineteenth century, glasshouses were relatively small and little different from the orangeries of previous years. They were predominantly built of stone with large windows, and, occasionally, glazed roofs.

The commission for the new Conservatory at Syon was given to Charles Fowler, an architect who specialised in large industrial buildings. In his use of the new metalworking technologies being developed in the English Midlands, he spanned the twin disciplines of architecture and engineering, to create a building whose delicate structure was combined with a neo-classical elevation on a Palladian model.  Completed in 1827, the Grade I Listed conservatory was the first to be built from metal and glass on such a large scale.
