    A black-and-white archival photograph depicting a 19th-century astronomical observatory building with a prominent dome on its roof. The neoclassical-style white structure is surrounded by a grassy lawn, outbuildings, and mature trees. The image appears to be a lantern slide or glass plate photograph based on its black border and tonal characteristics.
    A black and white engraving or lithograph depicting a 19th-century institutional complex featuring a two-story brick building with a prominent dome, flanked by trees and a smaller single-story annex building to the right. The grounds are populated with numerous figures in period dress, suggesting a public or civic institution. The image is presented on a lantern slide with rounded corners set against a black background.

    A black-and-white archival photograph showing a large, white neoclassical institutional building with a prominent central dome, likely an observatory or academic building.

    A black-and-white photograph showing the rear courtyard or back lot of a multi-story urban building complex, likely from the 1960s or early 1970s based on the vehicle styles.

The buildings display classical architectural details including arched windows, cornices, and window-mounted air conditioning units.
    A black-and-white archival photograph, likely taken from a lantern slide, showing a distant view of institutional or governmental buildings set on elevated ground behind a sloped embankment.

    A black and white photograph of a commemorative metal plaque with embossed text and decorative elements.
