Lindheimer Astronomical Research Center Demolition
|
1995 The Lindheimer Observatory was torn down
when it was determined that the costs of asbestos removal, new air handlers
and replacement of the peeling lead-based exterior paint could not be justified in light of the limited use of Lindheimer and the poor
viewing conditions caused by lake haze and Chicago lights. The Lindheimer telescopes were donated to Lowell Observatory in Flagstaff, Arizona.
