Thanks, Gene.  I suppose, then, the glass over the mausoleum keeps the glass
blocks from getting dirty, etc?

Hi Dick,
 From personal observation.... The tiles in the dome on the Lowell 
Mausoleum (just a few steps away from the 24 inch Clark telescope) are 
thick blocks of blue glass, which let light through.
