  Well it was "new" in 1880, if that helps. books.google.ca/books?id=cRw4AAAAMAAJ&lpg=PA659&o...

  NIAH website tell us it was built between 1875 and 1885 yet sign over the door reads 1880!! No civil engineering building! The NIAH says the then Chemistry and Physics labs were built 1905-1915 while the Dictionary of Irish Architects records show the labs built 1909-1911. Even before the labs were built I think we ought to be able to see the Carrigside and/or Edler Wood terraces on College Road. They were built---again according to NIAH---in 1880's . Terraceview So I think taken around 1880/85 when it was brand spanking new.! Gullgle

  25" OSI map showing the observatory with the same path layout. No civil engineering building/physics and chemistry labs. Carrigside Terrace is there, but there is an empty space where Elder Wood should be.
