LX6237: DEFOREST AND HOTCHKISS CUPOLA (NGS, Madison, CT) - U.S. Benchmarks on Waymarking.com

This is the last NGS recovery description extracted from the Geocaching site page:

THIS STATION IS ON THE NORTH END OF THE MAIN STORAGE SHED OF THE TRIANGLE PACIFIC HOME CENTER. THE PLANT IS ON THE SOUTH SIDE OF THE POST ROAD 0.1 MILE WEST OF THE R.R. TRACKS OVER U.S. 1. THE CUPOLA HAS WHITE SIDES AND A GREEN DOME-SHAPED TOP. STATION IS 2.3 MILES W. OF MADISON CENTER.

The site this cupola located at is now Landon Lumber. The cupola is still in good condition, and although the weather vane is missing parts, the main structure is sound.

At the time the station was first observed in 1933, the establishment was named DeForest and Hotchkiss Lumber Co., hence the designation.

The published coordinates are adjusted:

N41 17 01.24689 W072 38 07.93939

The description is adequate, and the cupola is plainly visible from the street.
