That list of telescopes only goes back to 1932, and I studied astronomy at one of the institutions in question.
As an example, why is this area named Observatory Hill? https://www.google.com/maps/place/Observatory+Hill,+Cambridge,+MA+02138,+USA/@42.3817392,-71.1344962,16z/data=!3m1!4b1!4m5!3m4!1s0x89e3776d1ec85c91:0xae23dbc6ed061fa6!8m2!3d42.382442!4d-71.1310717 https://www.google.com/maps/place/Observatory+Hill,+Cambridg...
