Did you know that before the Hawk Watch on Mount Peter, founded by Stiles Thomas in the Fifties, there was an observatory there?

Don't know for sure, but this postcard from 1908 sure looks like it was near the same spot as the lookout.  

If anyone can shed more light on this, I'd appreciate it! I'll post some comments from Judy Cinquina, who runs the Mount Peter Hawk Watch, tomorrow...
