I take it that you never heard of Tycho Brahe and his

Off course I have, we know exactly where the observer was
stationed there. I have also heard off the Greenwich
Observatory, Jodrel Bank etc. This is of course a non
sequitur anyway, aligning buildings to due North and South
will produce astronomical alignments when the probable
reason is to maximise sunlight. This does not always mean
that people built the building for astronominy.
