A report on the condition of this survey mark has been submitted to NGS.

This bench mark disk set on the New York Public Library was our first stop on today’s laid-back tour of midtown. We easily identified the north corner of the library building but didn’t spot the bench mark immediately. A quick peek behind the shrubbery was all it took. It was a bit more difficult to maneuver for a photo, but Rich was able to manage it. The disk is in excellent condition, well protected and probably not in danger of being damaged or moved.
