Construction of a computer room addition at the base of the 150-foot tower telescope, Mount Wilson Observatory. A portion of the tower's base is seen behind the new building, at the right. The addition appears to have walls of corrugated sheet metal. A doorway and a window are seen, as is the roof. An unidentified construction worker is on a ladder in the foreground. Trees are seen behind the building. Image courtesy of the Observatories of the Carnegie Institution for Science Collection at the Huntington Library, San Marino, California.
