  • I added outline May/1/2007 using the "Plan of Palace and Park", (Bradbury & Evans publishers/Maclure & Co Lithographers), downloaded from this link, http://www.ideal-homes.org.uk/lambeth/crystal-palace/plan-01.htm while also referencing obvious remnants in the current Google-Maps-supplied aerial/satellite imagery. (Note that the other map published in 'A Guide to the Palace and Park' is obviously wrong, locating the building in the area of the "Terraces".)
  • Added the 'invisible' category due to the non-viewable/historic places criteria.
