I recovered this U.S. Coast & Geodetic Survey NGS benchmnark from 1943 in good condition. It's monumented at the top of a concrete staircase leading into the front entrance to Sprague River High School, which burned to the ground in the 1960s and only concrete foundation elements remain. It has the stamping of 'P 352' on the disk face as well. This benchmark also appears on a topography map as BM 4345.
The NGS datasheet info is adequate for recovery with the exception that the school has burned down.
