The original Chabot Observatory was built in 1883 by Anthony Chabot. It was equipped with an 8-inch equatorial refractor by Alvan Clark & Sons, a 4-inch double pier transit and meantime clock by Fauth & Co., a Howard sidereal clock, a Negus Break Circuit chronometer, and a chronograph. The observatory was given to the Board of Education in trust for the City of Oakland and was to be forever free to the public and the public schools
