Description
Looking south at the north entrance to the Observatory. The eastern most transit room is partially open. The windows in all four transit rooms would slide down and a shutter in the roof would open allowing the transit telescope the ability to observe the meridian. The eastern transit room was home to the 2-inch Troughton & Simms universal instrument.
