Opened in 1906 as the hemisphere\'s largest concrete building and it still stands as one of if not then the most creative zoo buildings ever to exist. It is registered as one of the three National Historic Landmarks at the zoo. The other two are the Reptile House, and the Passenger Pigeon Memorial.
Well I think perhaps not. Cincinnati's own Ingalls Building completed in 1903 was almost three times the height (although the footprint is smaller).It was designed by the same architects,. The Elephant House is known as the biggest all concrete animal building.

Thank you, I believe that is most likely what the book said but after typing it so much, my mind might have just wanted to get the general idea out. Do you know if this opened as the largest animal building in the world? It is 100 ft long, 50 ft wide, and 70 ft tall.
