Covent Garden, London: Interior view of glass and iron roof.Architect: Charles Fowler. 1828-31. Note the delicate tracery, which creates an air of lightness. Although this photograph does not show these details, the blue curved roof beams are supported by iron columns, which have recently been painted orange with buff capitals.The end of the beam uses a circle as reinforcement, just like the Lancaster railway station.
