BM: E 151 - City Hall, Chesterton IN - U.S. Benchmarks on Waymarking.com

The building now houses Coffee Creek Studios.
The benchmark is above the cornerstone in the northwest corner of the building.

It's interesting to note that the NGS thinks that this mark was destroyed but it's still there.

*** NOTE - The station below is destroyed.

ME1088.The orthometric height was determined by differential leveling
ME1088.and adjusted in June 1991.

ME1088.The geoid height was determined by GEOID09.
ME1088
ME1088.The dynamic height is computed by dividing the NAVD 88
ME1088.geopotential number by the normal gravity value computed on the
