See this post for another view of Horticulture Fall, in Philadelphia's Fairmont Park. This building was destroyed in a fire. What a shame; it's beautiful.

Dear Pat: / How are you? I hope you are fine. / Having a wonderful trip. / We made the trip (629 miles). By way of the turnpike. / Boy is it ever hot here. Not like Michigan. / Love, Virginia Hakes / P.S. Will write again soon.

Finding information about Horticulture Hall was more difficult than I imagined. It seems that the original Hall burned down and was replaced by the Horticulture Center. I don't know if the Sunken Gardens and Lily Pond were affected by the fire or if they were simply replaced by other exhibits.
