The Wilde Astronomical Observatory was a tiny ground level observatory built for the Astronomy Department in 1906-1907[1] on the northwest corner of the Grove, standing where the Northwest Science Building is being built. It would be demolished sometime after Pupin Physics Laboratories was built, as its function was replaced by the Rutherfurd Observatory on the roof of Pupin.
