Part of the Main Picture, located between the Palace of Liberal Arts and the Palace of Mines and Metallurgy, was a popular and romantic site, the Sunken Gardens.
Etymology
Before the Fair
Originally, the garden was a lake. Engineers drained it and added soil to form the Sunken Gardens.
Description
This was a grand place for weary Palace-goers to rest, relax, socialize or simply take in the seasonal beauty. The Sunken Gardens was a small part of the 2,000,000 plants and trees that were planted for the Fair.
It was told that the Chicago Columbian Exposition had several grand views of perfect beauty; many stated that the St. Louis Exposition had hundreds.
After the Fair
After the Fair, the lake was again dug out and filled with water.
