@wmataGM Proud of Project Delivery’s RBIR tunnel leak mitigation team contribution to provide the curtain grouting necessary to stop that leak!

@MayorBowser Need to have all the original boundaries define DC again as intended!

This week ⁦@dcrotary⁩ we had my good friend Stephen Powers ⁦@DCStones⁩ join us as our speaker. He’s the lead “stoner,” subject matter experts on DC’s 40 boundary stones. Also pictured is our mutual friend, historian John Muller ⁦@WashSyndicate⁩.

This could be the world's first recorded sighting of a live adult black devil or anglerfish (Melanocetus johnsonii), a deep sea creature in broad daylight and on the surface!!😱

@ward8woods Of the 40 original stones, 35 are currently in the ground.

Plans are underway to reset SE#7 to bring back to 36.

Missing stones: 3 sites have replica stones (SE#4*, SE#8, SW#2). NE#1 has a plaque.

*Original SE#4 stone is on display at The Capitol Visitor Center

Proud to serve.

We were sad to learn that Boundary Stone #7 in SE placed in 1792, one of 40 (now 37) original federal monuments to mark the boundary of the “Territory of Columbia” was missing. Fortunately, engineer & historian Steven Powers saved the stone out of the rubble of a car accident.

@ChristoSilvia That aerial photo was taken during the station closure between Sept 2021 and Jan 2022. Notice the Canopy construction on the platform.

@MattModderno @RailBourbon Not Maybe. It is a Boundary Stone.

[DC Stones @DCStones]

@TcasWizards The colors come from the fences and the plaques that protect and identify the boundary stone. Thanks for asking!

The forty stones that line the original boundary of D.C. were the first monuments purchased by the United States government 💡
