Built in 1887 and dedicated on November 18, 1887, the observatory featured an eight-inch refracting telescope built by Alvan Clark and Sons of Cambridge, Massachusetts, then the world's premier telescope company. After the whole structure was moved in 1991, the telescope was fully restored. It is still in use by the Syracuse University astronomy students. Good for another 100 years!
