The original Lassen Volcano Observatory building, provided by the US Forest Service, about 1926. The observatory consisted of a small office over a 10x10 ft concrete cellar which housed two custom-built seismographs. A small cottage nearby housed Ruy H. Finch, the head of and sole scientist at the Observatory for much of its existence. (Photo by R.H.
