No. The building that was known as the Crystal Palace was a steel and glass exhibition hall which was built in Hyde Park London for the Great Exhibition of 1851 to showcase British dominance and innovation in manufacturing. There was so much glass in the structure that it was nick-named the Crystal Palace. When the exhibition was over. the building was dismantled and re-assembled in Upper Norwood, a suburb and highest point in southeast London, where it remained until 1936 when it burned to the ground. There were rumours that the fire had been started deliberately by government agents because they were concerned that the conspicuous building would be used as a navigation point by incoming enemy bombers in the expected war which started three years later. The stone foundations and plinths of the building are still in situ today and the surrounding area is known in London as Crystal Palace, rather than its proper name of Upper Norwood.
