At the east corner of the building, this is a brass bolt stamped "BM 121 D" and "GSC". The bolt is low on the foundation, of the northeast wall, directly below the stone quoins on the east corner of the building, about one foot above the sidewalk.

Strangely, it doesn't appear in the NRCAN database but it does at Mascot. Its GCM number at Mascot is 490698.
