The Great Exhibition of 1851 was housed in The Crystal Palace which was a cast-iron and glass building originally erected in Hyde Park, London. There were over than 14,000 exhibitors from around the world in the Palace's 990,000 square feet. Designed by Joseph Paxton, the Great Exhibition building was 1,851 feet (564 m) long, with an interior height of 128 feet (39 m). In 1854 after the exhibition, the building was moved to an area of Sydenham in South London, (Later called Crystal Palace) where it stood until 1936 when it was destroyed by fire.
