The shelter was built to house scientists who used the 14,505 foot summit to study high altitude phenomena in the time before sustained high altitude flight was possible. In 1909 the site was used by Smithsonian Astrophysical Observatory director Charles Greeley Abbot to conduct spectroscopic observations of Mars to investigate the existence of water on the planet.
