Mount Hamilton stage at Lick Observatory, 1890.

One of the Mount Hamilton Stage Company’s carriages is parked at the Lick Observatory. The stage transported thousands of tourists to the Lick Observatory every year. The twenty-eight mile winding road was a three and a half to four hours ride each way. The dome on the left houses a 12-inch refracting telescope.
