 | | The 91-cm refracting telescope on Mt. Hamilton was Earth's largest refracting telescope from when it saw first light on January 3, 1888, until the construction of Yerkes in 1897. |
 | | In April, 1888, the observatory was turned over to the Regents of the University of California, and it became the first permanantly occupied mountain-top observatory in the world. |
 | | In 1887 Lick's body was buried under the future site of the telescope, with a brass tablet bearing the inscription, "Here lies the body of James Lick." |
