Located on the lawn of the Griffith Park Observatory is the Astronomers Monument, designed by Archibald Garner honoring six of the greatest astronomers of all time: Hipparchus, Copernicus, Galileo, Kepler, Newton and Herschel. In this picture we see the monument in front of the planetarium theatre building. To the left is the section housing the solar telescope. The observatory was built in 1935 in the Classical Modern style. Architects: John C. Austin and Frederick M. Ashley.
