The Jewel Box in Forest Park, St. Louis, MO, is a captivating display greenhouse nestled at the junction of Wells and McKinley Drives. Following a $3.5 million restoration, the Jewel Box has regained its luster, with meticulously cleaned and repaired glass panes that allow the interior to gleam brightly. The greenhouse boasts a stunning array of permanent floral exhibits, complemented by seasonal blooms cultivated by the Flora Conservancy of Forest Park and the Parks Division.
Renovated in 2002, the Jewel Box underwent significant changes, including the removal of existing plants to create a more open interior flooded with natural light. This revamp also brought about improved floral display areas, a catering section for hosting events, and a modern heating and cooling system for year-round comfort. Designated a National Historic Landmark, the Jewel Box stands as a prime example of Art Deco architecture, designed by city engineer William C. E. Becker.
