U.S. Coast and Geodetic Survey Benchmark CS0013 - Royse City, TX - U.S. Benchmarks on Waymarking.com

Note that this is no longer City Hall. The Masonic Lodge still occupies the second floor, while the Zaner Robison Historical Museum is on the first. It's easiest to just go to the southwest corner of the building, where you'll see the benchmark disk near that corner, on the south wall.
