Chamberlin Observatory, completed in 1894 is unique among Denver landmarks. DU's first astronomy professor, Professor Herbert Howe, designed it after Carleton College Goodsell Observatory in Northfield Minnesota. The dome houses a 20 inch aperture Clark-Saegmuller refractor, which saw first light in July 1894, and is still "functional". Regular classes and public viewing still occur

Tuesday and Thursday nights the Denver Astronomical Society hosts public nights including a discussion on Astronomy related topics and viewing of the stars through an antique 20 inch telescope. The 125 year old observatory itself is an exquisite example of Denvers historic architecture .
