This Observatory was built about 1854 through the efforts of Presi- dent Tappan, money for the purpose being raised in Detroit. Mr. Henry N. Walker of Detroit was especially interested in the project and gave funds for the purchase of a meridian circle. The Observatory building is of the usual old-fashioned type, a cen- tral part on the top of which is the dome for the equatorial, and eaBt and west wings, the meridian circle being in the east wing and the library in the west. All the walls are of heavy masonry. About 1853 Dr. Tappan visited Europe and consulted Encke, direc- tor of the Berlin Observatory and Professor of Astronomy in the Uni- versity of Berlin, with regard to the Ann Arbor Observatory. By his advice a meridian circle was ordered of Pistor and Martins and a clock of Tiede. At this time Francis Brunnow was first assistant in the Berlin Obser- vatory.

    • OCTOBER 2010 WASHTENAW COUNTY HISTORICAL SOCIETY Who Built My House? The Spotlight's on Chelseal The Fall colors were just beginning to show in time for the start of our monthly program series on Sunday, September 19th. As the afternoon sunlight streamed through the exquisite stained glasss windows of Bethel United Church of Christ in Manchester, Brian Williams presented a fascinating program on post World War II kit houses. We learned about the history and construction of prefabricated houses, including his own 1947 Peaseway home, and a unique architectural detail that identifies them. Many of these houses were built on concrete slabs, with the longer ends facing the street. This made them appear larger, added a front porch and increased the size of the back­ yard, a selling point for families. When the housing inspector pointed out the stenciled joists on the home they were about to purchase, Brian he Museum on Main Street has a new exhibit and his wife Heidi were unsure about showcasing Chelsea's industrial and cultural "'We are honored to what that meant.
