Photos taken on 21 December 2022. The stone is surrounded by a green fence built by the Daughters of the American Revolution on April 14, 1916 which is typical of the other DC boundary stones. It is located about 15 feet south of MD Route 410, and about 40 feet south west of the end of the sidewalk along the south side of MD Route 410. Parking can be found in the apartment complex due east, although be weary since there are signs saying your car may be towed.
The plaque says, "Original Federal Boundary Stone District of Columbia Placed 1791-1792 Protected by Dist. of Col. Chapter Daughters of the American Revolution 1918"
