Lowell Observatory, Slipher Building, 1400 West Mars Rd, Flagstaff, Coconino County, AZ
The Administration Building is the central building of the Lowell Observatory complex. The building was erected in 1915-16 under the direction of Stanley Sykes and Edward C. Mills to supply badly needed office and darkroom space. Constructed of local materials, its predominant feature is the huge, Saturn shaped rotunda at center front. Eventually, the rotunda would serve as a library, and later, a visitor center. This was the last building Percival Lowell saw constructed at the Lowell Observatory before his death in 1916
