Old Naval Observatory

Das Old Naval Observatory ist ein ehemaliges Observatorium in Washington, D.C., das von 1844 bis 1893 von der United States Navy genutzt wurde.

Das Gebäude verblieb im Besitz der Navy, die dort von 1894 bis 1092 das Naval Museum of Hygiene betrieb. Ab 1903 wurde es als Krankenhaus genutzt und blieb bis das National Naval Medical Center 1943 fertiggestellt war in der Nutzung. Heute ist es ein Verwaltungsgebäude des Surgeon General of the United States Navy und nicht öffentlich zugänglich.

Seit 1965 ist es eine National Historic Landmark.[1]
