Description
Erection of metal columns for the wall of the 60-inch telescope building, Mount Wilson Observatory. Several unidentified construction workers stand in front of the steel support columns, below a system of ropes and pulleys. Behind them, on the right-hand side of the photograph, a concrete pillar and stairs is seen among wooden scaffolding and other construction. Trees are in the background.
