Lake Mitchell Tapestries
Description: Mitchell Domes Sign • Mitchell Park, Milwaukee WI: Features Mitchell Park Domes. The old Milwaukee conservatory was replaced with a new facility designed by local architect Donald L. Grieb. His design included three domes to open to the public in this order: The “show” dome featuring seasonal plants and special exhibitions in 1965; The tropical dome in 1966; and The arid (or desert) dome in 1967. To this day, many consider the three domed structures to be the gem of Milwaukee’s public parks system. First Lady, Claudia Alta aka “Lady Bird” Johnson dedicated the seasonal dome in September of 1965.
