1920's glass roof?

ghobbs

Can anyone help me by naming some public buildings of any purpose which were built around about the 1920's and which have large glass roofs? 

Think the Crystal Palace at Sydenham for example, although this was built quite a bit earlier...

Thanks!

The Austrian Postal Savings Bank was built between before 1910, but features a ground glass roof.

Bradbury Building, 1893.  Too early, perhaps, but sine qua non in any discussion glass-roofed spaces.

king's cross.  about 1852

i suspect the whole glass roof trend was pretty big for a while after the crystal palace, then died down a bit.
