The Crystal Palace
The Crystal Palace was a cast-iron and plate-glass structure erected in Hyde Park, London, England, to house the Great Exhibition of 1851. More than 14,000 exhibitors from around the world gathered in its of exhibition space to display examples of the technology developed during the Industrial Revolution. Designed by Sir Joseph Paxton, the Great Exhibition building was long, with an interior height of .〔(【引用サイトリンク】 The Crystal Palace of Hyde Park )〕 The invention of the cast plate glass method in 1848 made possible the production of large sheets of cheap but strong glass, and its use in the Crystal Palace created a structure with the greatest area of glass ever seen in a building and astonished visitors with its clear walls and ceilings that did not require interior lights.
Its name ''Crystal Palace'' was result of a piece penned by the playwright Douglas Jerrold, who in July 1850 wrote in the satirical magazine ''Punch'' as 'Mrs Amelia Mouser' about the forthcoming Great Exhibition of 1851, referring to a ''palace of very crystal''. The name was subsequently repeated even though the building had not been approved.〔The ''Punch'' issue of 13 July 1850 carried a contribution by Douglas Jerrold, writing as Mrs Amelia Mouser, which referred to a ''palace of very crystal''. Other sources refer to the 2 November 1850 Punch issue bestowing the "Crystal Palace" name on the design by (And .) Punch had originally sided with ''The Times'' against the exhibition committee's proposal of a fixed brick structure, but featured the Crystal Palace heavily throughout 1851 (for example in included the article "Travels into the Interior of the Crystal Palace" of February 1851). Any earlier name has been lost, according to (【引用サイトリンク】 Everything2 ''Crystal Palace'' Exhibition Building Design #251 ). The use by Mrs Mouser was picked up by a reference in ''The Leader'', no.17, 20 July 1850 (p.1): "In more than one country we notice active preparations for sending inanimate representatives of trade and industry to take up their abode in the crystal palace which Mr.Paxton is to build for the Exposition of 1851."

After the exhibition, the building was rebuilt in an enlarged form on Penge Common, at the top of Penge Peak next to Sydenham Hill, an affluent south London suburb full of large villas. It stood there from 1854 until its destruction by fire in 1936. A re-working of the building, known as The Garden Palace, had been constructed in Sydney in 1879, but this building too was destroyed by fire.
The name was later used to denote this area of south London and the park that surrounds the site, home of the Crystal Palace National Sports Centre as well as Crystal Palace F.C. who were founded at the Crystal Palace. In 2013 a proposal was made to re-build the Crystal Palace within the Crystal Palace Park,〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-england-london-23475994 )〕 but the project was cancelled in 2015. The park still contains Benjamin Waterhouse Hawkins's Crystal Palace Dinosaurs from 1854.
