The Irwin M. Krohn Conservatory is located in Eden Park in Cincinnati, Ohio, USA. The conservatory was completed in 1933, replacing the small Eden Park greenhouse in 1894. Originally known as the Eden Park greenhouse in 1937, it was renamed in honor of Irwin M. Krohn, who served as park administrator from 1912 to 1948. The Rapp & Meacham office designed the park in Art Deco style, in the Gothic arch style. The great conservatory was damaged by the storm of 1966, and the firm of Lord & Burnham was called in to restore it. The original wooden frames were replaced with durable aluminum.
