Located in Williams Bay, WI, Yerkes Telescope and Observatory first opened in 1897. The observatory was designed by Henry Ives Cobb in the Beaux Arts and Romanesque architectural styles and includes caricatures of some major players in history sculpted in the stone columns. Surrounding the buildings of the observatory are 50 acres originally planned by the Olmsted Brothers, the firm founded by legendary landscape architect Frederick Law Olmsted. #Chicago #YerkesObservatory #Yerkes #architecture
