Directly back of this circular room is a hall giving access to 

 the stairs which lead to the telescope room, the library and transit 

 room, dark room, toilet room and basement. 



The transit room has a Tennessee marble floor and a light gray 

 brick wainscot. The plaster walls above are painted in a tone 

 slightly lighter than brick. 



The library has a marble floor. The bookcases of oak, fumed, 

 form a wainscot in this room, the plaster above being painted 

 and overglazed in warm colors.

 and zenith telescope; a cylinder chronograph; two Riefler astro- 

 nomical clocks; one Seth Thomas clock; switchboard with
