Notes
  • Significance: Earlham Observatory, erected 1861, is a plain, strictly utilitarian building, specifically designed to house a telescope. The scope was built in 1856 by R.B. Rutherford, pioneer American astronomer. While the structure has no outstanding architectural features other than the copper sheathed dome and the instruments, the only other observatory comparable to Earlham's in the Midwest is owned by Western Reserve University in Hudson, Ohio, dating from the 1830's. The Earlham Observatory represents an historical scientific site which is associated with a distinctive educational institution.
