Description
This corner stone was laid by Grand Master
Robert Williams on the Feast of St. John the Baptist, June 24, 1813.
It was exhumed in March 1880 by a joint committee from the Hiram
Lodge No. 40 and the Grand Lodge; the corner stone was given a place
of honor in the anteroom of the Grand Lodge Hall in the Masonic
Temple in Raleigh. Unlike most corner stones of this type, there was
no compartment for records and mementoes.
