The image is a vintage postcard of the Anna Scripps Whitcomb Conservatory, historically known as the Horticultural Building, located on Belle Isle Park in Detroit, Michigan.

The building is currently the oldest continually running conservatory in the United States.
Construction began in 1902, and it officially opened on August 18, 1904.
It was designed by the architectural firm Mason & Kahn.
The adjacent building with the smaller dome is the Belle Isle Aquarium, which also opened in 1904 and is the oldest operating aquarium in the US.
