Construction of the Garden Palace (8005394189)
Construction of the Garden Palace [NRS 4481 SH1168] On September 22nd 1882 the Garden Palace fire occurred. The Garden Palace was built in only eight months to house the Sydney International Exhibition in 1879 in the southwestern end of the Royal Botanic Gardens. At the time of the fire a number of government departments housed records in the Palace so that when fire completely engulfed the timber building a number of significant documents, such as the 1881 Census, were destroyed. » View the Garden Palace Fire Gallery (photos and documents including a report by the night watchman)
