This disk is located in Boston's North End, in the steps of the MassPike Maintenance building at 128 North Street. The mark is embedded in the south corner of the stone steps at the front of the building, not in a step itself, but in an apron around the steps.

The disk is in reasonably good shape and is stamped 14.568 feet, although it is not in any database I know of. It is presumably related to the L 12 MASS GS 1936 disk at the Old State House (also waymarked).
