Lick Observatory Old Dormitory Building

View of the old dormitory with the "steep path of cleated boards, known as the 'chicken-walk,' which leads from the road-way to the dormitory." (From: David Pickering, "The Astronomical Fraternity of the World, part XIII" in Popular Astronomy, vol. 43 (1935) p.144.) Near the foot of the chicken walk is a small shed with a sign above the door that reads "Fire hose." Visible behind the dormitory is the main building of the observatory.
