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.
