NEW OBSERVATORY CAN STAND 200-MILE-AN-HOUR WINDS
After 5 years in the stage office of the Mount Washington Auto Road Company, the famous weather observatory on the summit of this stormy mountain has just moved into a building of its own.
By direction of Col. Henry N. Teague, president of the Mount Washington Railway Co., an extraordinarily sturdy building has been constructed. People who have ridden on the cog railroad have noted the size of the timbers making up the trestle on Jacob’s Ladder and elsewhere—9 x 10 inches and 24 feet long. These same timbers when replaced have been cut to 22 feet and mortised for the framework of the new building.
