Decoding the Myths of Asa Packer, 1805?-1879

Sayre Observatory


Though no longer an observatory, this building was named for one of Packer's oldest friends and influences, Robert Sayre.  Sayre was the one to first bring Packer to the Episcopalian Church, a longtime partner in the Lehigh Valley Railroad, and an original member of the Lehigh Board of Trustees.  In addition to this building, a group of dormitories and a road are named for him.
