Revision as of 00:13, 11 March 2008 by Absentminded (talk | contribs)
The Wilde Astronomical Observatory was a tiny ground level observatory built for the Astronomy Department in 1906-1907[1] on the northwest corner of the Grove, standing where the Northwest Science Building is being built. It would be demolished sometime after Pupin Physics Laboratories was built, as it's function was replaced by the Rutherford Observatory on the roof of Pupin.
