Completed as an observatory in 1859, it was part of the astronomy focus that chancellor Frederick A.P. Barnard had for the school. Due to the outbreak of the Civil War, though, the purchase of the observatory's telescopes were put on hold. Today the observatory houses the Center for the Study of Southern Culture while the university's astronomers use Kennon Observatory. The observatory is listed on the National Register of Historic Places.Sources & record detailsWikipedia text is available under CC BY-SA 4.0; see the article for contributors and any additional terms.
