Description: Construction of a computer room addition at the base of the 150-foot tower telescope, Mount Wilson Observatory. This view looks at the new building's frame from above. A small portion of the tower's base is seen at the far left. The flooring for the new building is not yet installed, making a portion of the foundation visible. Several pieces of construction equipment are seen in the area, including a wheelbarrow, a ladder and a truck.
