This is the most recent discription: RECOVERY NOTE BY NATIONAL GEODETIC SURVEY 1981 IN SAN JUAN, AT THE SOUTHWEST CORNER OF THE INTERSECTION OF U.S. HIGHWAY 83 BUSINESS AND STANDARD AVENUE, SET VERTICALLY IN THE NORTH WALL OF THE OLD SAN JUAN BANK BUILDING (NOW VACANT), 0.4 METER (1.1 FT) WEST OF THE NORTHEAST CORNER OF THE BUILDING. THE MARK IS 0.8 M ABOVE SIDEWALK.

The building has been removed and a small decorative garden has taken its place. The benchmark has been mounted in the new concrete sidewalk at a concave curve of the garden wall. I would suspect the mark is mounted directly under its previous location and the disk has been refaced to indicate its new elevation.
