I recovered this Reference Mark that is part of the COLLEGE series (PID QE0628) in good condition. This mark lies under a metal access cover and protected by PVC. You'll need a Phillips screwdriver to access the cover if you wish to take a picture of it. I was pleasantly surprised that the construction crews preserved this reference mark when they put in a new sidewalk although I feel the Triangulation Station that it points to was destroyed when a newer track and landscaping were done recently.
NGS datasheet info is adequate accept that Adams Avenue is now called Intramural Way.
