[[Russell W. Porter]] developed the [[Art Deco]] architecture of the Observatory's buildings, including the dome of the 200-inch Hale Telescope. Porter was also responsible for much of the technical design of the Hale Telescope and Schmidt Cameras, producing a series of cross-section engineering drawings. Porter worked on the designs in collaboration with many engineers and Caltech committee members.<ref>{{Cite web|url=https://www.space.com/26310-palomar-observatory.html|title=Palomar Observatory: Facts & Discoveries|last=June 2014|first=Elizabeth Howell 20|website=Space.com|date=20 June 2014|language=en|access-date=2020-04-06}}</ref><ref>{{Cite web|url=https://www.britannica.com/topic/Palomar-Observatory|title=Palomar Observatory {{!}} observatory, California, United States|website=Encyclopedia Britannica|language=en|access-date=2020-04-06}}</ref><ref>{{Cite web|url=https://sandiegohistory.org/journal/1998/october/palomar/|title=Palomar, After 50 Years|website=San Diego History Center {{!}} San Diego, CA {{!}} Our City, Our Story|language=en-US|access-date=2020-04-06}}</ref>
