Carleton College Goodsell Observatory Windows

This project included the installation of aluminum-clad windows that were custom designed to match the originals. Trim was also painted to match the original color. Built in 1887, the observatory holds a prominent place in history. From the 1870s until World War II, it set time for all major railroads from Chicago to Seattle and was home to one of the nation’s first weather services. It is one of only six active observatories at liberal arts colleges in the country.
