There are at least two benchmarks on the historic St John's Courthouse - one is a tidal benchmark on the stairs (see WM10EEC XXF9512 TIDAL BM St Johns Newfoundland), the other a brass disk on the lower foundation wall, immediately below the left-most set of windows and behind a green electrical transformer box.
