Additional Description: With water levels steadily rising, the cornerstone on Jones Point has long been at the mercy of the encroaching Hunting Creek. In 1861, a retaining wall was constructed in front of the stone, creating a raised yard for the lighthouse constructed six years earlier. The stone remained “lost” behind this wall for over five decades. This 1921 photo was taken at a commemorative celebration following its “rediscovery.”Close-up of Library of Congress photo on marker
