Construction of a computer room addition at the base of the 150-foot tower telescope, Mount Wilson Observatory. The addition appears to have walls of corrugated sheet metal and a foundation of stone or brick. A small window is visible in the wall facing the camera. A small portion of the tower's base is seen at the far right side of the photograph. Construction materials are seen on the ground near the new building. Trees are seen in the background.
