In 1891 or 1892, Joseph Taylor, a University of Washington mathematics professor who taught the first astronomy class received a grant of $3,000 from the U.W. regents, of which $1,000 was to be spent on the first observatory. It was built on the original campus on 4th Ave. & University St. in downtown Seattle. A mason was responsible for the pier, a carpenter for the framing, and Taylor himself finished the structure in between classes. In 1895, the U.W. moved to Denny Hall at it's current location and a new observatory was built.
