Construction of the monastery annex as seen from the courtyard, Mount Wilson Observatory. The Monastery served as a dormitory for visiting scientists. In this photograph, one sees the scaffolding and construction of the second-story walls of the new annex, at the far left. Several unidentified construction workers are in the building site; two of whom are seen on top of the scaffolding at the far left, with a wheelbarrow. Another construction worker is on the ground, standing at the concrete mixer. A small building is in the center of the background, with tall trees behind it. An autombile is seen to the right of the concrete mixer, near the center. Various tools and pieces of equipment are scattered throughout the area.
