Hiram PerkinsThe older (first Perkins) observatory building survived into the 21st century
Hiram Mills Perkins (1833-1924) was Professor of Mathematics and Astronomy at Ohio Wesleyan University and benefactor of the Perkins Telescope in the Perkins Observatory.[1] He helped build to observatory buildings and also left an endowment for the school, and also his house was later used as a dormitory before it was sold off.
Perkins taught at the university from 1873 to 1907.[2]
The Perkins telescope was the 3rd largest telescope in the world when it achieved first light in 1931.
The telescope was eventually moved to Lowell Observatory, and the 69-inch mirror was sent to a museum when it was replaced by a 72 inch one at that observatory.
In 1880 Perkins built a house at 235 W. William St, which was later used as a dorm by OWU.[3]
Perkin's house survived into the 21st century, and was used as a dorm by OWU university.[3] The home (later dorm) was located 235 W. William St.[3] In the 2017 the school sold it off for 170,000 USD, to a developer who planned to convert it into a hotel.[3]
