»Professor Larkin was sometimes assisted by Charles S. Lawrence, a photographer hired by the Pacific Electric Company. Lawrence took an active part in the public demonstrations held at the observatory, and after Larkin’s death in 1924, he became the director of the Echo Mountain Observatory. ... the end of the observatory came not from fire but from a windstorm in 1928. Lawrence was inside the observatory when winds of hurricane velocity literally blew the building apart. He was not injured in this frightening experience but the observatory, like the rest of the buildings on Echo Mountain, was gone forever.«

Granite Gate was obviously a great place to take souvenir photographs, and Charles Lawrence, being the official photographer for the railway, never missed an opportunity. Even after he retired and the railway closed, Lawrence would sell images like this one, dated 1906, to anyone who would come to his Morton Street home in Pasadena.
