The courthouse is located 1/2 block E of the square on the S side of E Market Street, between George Street & Duke Street. The benchmark is located at the NE corner of the steps near the edge of the sidewalk & is marked with the words "Datum" & "392.975" on either side of the brass star. It also appears that ".975" was added some time after the original information. Additional information appears to have been covered by the brick wall to the left (east) of the inscription.
