The mark is set vertically in a large sandstone cornerstone on the east side of the steps leading up to the entrance of the Engineering Building. I couldn't begin to count how many times I have walked past this benchmark during my time as a student at UW (albeit on my way to the "rival" Geology Building just to the west of here). It is one of my personal favorite small features here on the main campus grounds.
