Sydney's Lost Palace | Built in 8 Months, Gone in 40 Minutes
The Garden Palace was the largest building Australia had ever seen. Built in just eight months for the 1879 Sydney International Exhibition, its dome stood 64 metres above the Royal Botanic Gardens. Over one million people walked through its halls. Three years later, it burned to the ground in forty minutes. The cause was never determined. This is the story of the building that put Sydney on the world stage — and vanished in a single night. In this documentary, we explore the extraordinary construction, the spectacle of the International Exhibition, what was lost in the fire, and the conspiracy theories that persist to this day. 📍 Location: Royal Botanic Gardens, Sydney, Australia 📅 Period: 1879–1882. 📚 Research supported by the State Library of New South Wales. Their Garden Palace collection — including photographs, illustrations, diaries, and official records — is an invaluable resource for anyone exploring this lost chapter of Sydney's history. 🔗 sl.nsw.gov.au/stories/garden-palace #sydney #australianhistory #gardenpalace #history #documentary #lostbuildings #1879 #sydneyhistory #fire #exhibition
