Description: Construction of a computer room addition at the base of the 150-foot tower telescope, Mount Wilson Observatory. Two unidentified construction workers are seen working within the partially-completed foundation for the new structure. The foundation appears to be made from bricks. A small portion of the tower's base is seen behind the workers and to the left.
