The entire block of 200 West Seminary Road, in Wheaton, Illinois, was demolished during the 1950s to construct a public park.
The telescope was originally a 31 foot 5-inch transit-mounted parabolic radio telescope reflector made from 72 wooden radial rafters, covered with skin of 26 gauge point iron (focal length: 20 feet), and 2 elevated arches positioned on railroad wheels to permit changes in elevation angles.
Finally, in 1957, it was acquired by the National Radio Astronomy Observatory, in Green Bank, West Virginia, where in 1959-60 it was reassembled under Grote Reber's personal supervision.

Construction has been completed on the world's largest fully steerable radio telescope at the National Radio Astronomy Observatory's site in Green Bank, Pocahontas County, West Virginia (79° 50' 23.40" W, 38° 25' 59.23" N : NAD83).
The GBT is described as a 100-meter telescope, but the actual dimensions of the surface are 100 by 110 meters.
Monitoring of these beams will show the deformation of the figure under such stresses as gravity, wind and temperature differences, and will allow the telescope's motors, subreflector and surface panel actuators to compensate for any ill effects.

 Youngest Radio Pulsar Revealed with the Green Bank Telescope
This is one of the first key discoveries made by the newly commissioned, 105-m diameter, Robert C.
This discovery, the result of the most sensitive radio observations ever made in the search for pulsars, will enable scientists to conduct further observations that could lead to a better understanding of how these stellar remnants evolve.
By detecting this pulsar in the radio part of the spectrum, astronomers may now follow its evolution with greater ease and flexibility than with X-ray telescopes on satellites, study the pulsar emission mechanisms, and also characterize the dynamic interstellar medium between the Earth and the pulsar.

 Helium-3 in Milky Way Reveals Abundance of Matter in Early Universe
Astronomers using the National Science Foundation's 140 Foot Radio Telescope in Green Bank, West Virginia, were able to infer the amount of matter created by the Big Bang, and confirmed that it accounts for only a small portion of the effects of gravity observed in the Universe.
The scientists were able to make these conclusions by determining the abundance of the rare element helium-3 (helium with only one neutron and two protons in its nucleus) in the Milky Way Galaxy.
The 140 Foot Radio Telescope at the NRAO in Green Bank now is decommissioned after a long and highly productive career.
