From the NGS description:

TO REACH FROM THE JUNCTION OF INTERSTATE 94 AND IL RT 68 PROCEED EAST ON INTERSTATE 94 FOR 1.5 MILES TO TOWER RD AND EXIT TOWER ROAD TO THE WEST. PROCEED WEST ON TOWER ROAD TO SKOKIE BLVD. AND TAKE SKOKIE BLVD SOUTH FOR 0.7 MI TO THE STATION 25.5 FT EAST OF THE CENTERLINE OF SKOKIE BLVD, LOCATED 0.1 MI NORTH OF CENTRAL AVENUE.
STATION IS 55 FT NORTH OF CENTERLINE OF THE ENTRANCE TO WILLOW HILL EXECUTIVE CENTER (ADDRESS 540), 60.4 FT NORTH NORTHEAST OF THE PK NAIL IN THE PAVEMENT, LOCATED EAST OF THE ENTRANCE TO WILLOW CREEK EXECUTIVE CENTER, 9.5 FT SOUTHEAST OF A MANHOLE, 15 FT EAST OF THE EDGE OF PAVEMENT OF SKOKIE BLVD, 2 FT WEST OF THE CHAIN LINK FENCE LINE, AND 2 FT WEST OF AN ORANGE FIBERGLASS WITNESS POST. NOTE- ACCESS TO DATUM POINT THROUGH 6 INCH LOGO 'CAP. DATUM POINT IS 0.70 FT BELOW CAP.
From my visit, it seemed the datum point was much more than 0.70 feet below the cap, but that might have been an optical illusion.
