Alfred Peet started Peet's Coffee & Tea as a single store in 1966 in Berkeley, California. Peet's original outlet is still located on the corner of Walnut and Vine (2124 Vine Street) in Berkeley, close to the University of California, Berkeley (although it has been renovated to match the look of the newer Peet's outlets elsewhere). Peet grew up in the coffee business while living in the Netherlands as a child. Moving to San Francisco, California, when he was 35, he began roasting coffee as he knew it. Peet's now roasts at a plant in nearby Alameda. Alfred Peet died of cancer on August 29, 2007, at the age of 87 in his home in Ashland, Oregon.

'Palacio de Cristal' by Ricardo Velázquez Bosco
kuressaare (VirtualGlobetrotting)
By: kuressaare.
The Palacio de Cristal ("Crystal Palace") is a glass and metal structure located in Madrid's Buen Retiro Park. It was built in 1887 to exhibit flora and fauna from the Philippines. The architect was Ricardo Velázquez Bosco.
The Palacio de Cristal, in the shape of a Greek cross, is made almost entirely of glass set in an iron framework on a brick base, which is decorated with ceramics. The architecture was influenced by the glass and iron structural techniques of Joseph Paxton (who was responsible for London's Crystal Palace and also for greenhouses such as the Palm House at Kew Gardens).
The structure was designed in a way that would allow it to be re-erected on another site (as happened to the equivalent building in London). However, the building has remained on the original site, next to a lake, and has been restored to its original appearance. It is no longer used as a greenhouse, and is currently used for art exhibits..
