In this episode, Matt and Pat dive into the life and death of the Crystal Palace of the 1851 Great Exhibition in London.

This includes a detailed investigation of the buildings construction, materials, challenges, successes and failures, as well as how it met its unfortunate end in November of 1936.

Several sources were directly and indirectly referenced and read during the making of the podcast, all of which can be seen and accessed below.
