This picture was shot at 4:30 pm June 8th 2005,
before I knocked down the parking garage behind the planetarium and cut off the no parking signs in front of the building.

This picture was shot the earlier same day with the sun overhead

This picture was shot in the morning with the sun on the back of the building

This is what the building looked like back in the 1870's!
(Not really, it wasn't built until 1963)

Here's some photos I didn't take.

This is the architect's drawing of the building

The new planetarium 1963.
Notice the lack of trees and there are no windows!
The front windows were added in the early 1990's.
