Description
Snow-covered Monastery at Mount Wilson Observatory. The Monastery served as a dormitory for visiting scientists. Two small chimneys surpass the snow on the roof of the building; snow-covered trees are seen behind the building. A large snow drift obscures most of the facing wall of the Monastery.
