I recovered this U.S. Coast & Geodetic Survey benchmark from 1932 in good condition. It is located at the east entrance to the Tehama County courthouse on the third step at the north end of the staircase. There is the elevation stamping of '305.475' and the designation stamping of 'E 137' and '1932' on the disk face. My posted coordinates will place you very close to this benchmark. The NGS datasheet info is adequate for station recovery.
