This disk was set in 1938 by a party led by Theodore Homkowicz for a Geodetic Survey of Boston. The results of the triangulation were published in 1942, from which the to-reach comes:
"GROUND TRANSFER POINT, 'BRIHY' C.P.B. DISC No 30 — (First order traverse point No. G11/0).
Description: This point is a C.P.B. disc set in curb on the north side of Warren Street, near intersection with Nevins and Cambridge Streets.
South 16.11' from c.c. [chiseled/cut cross] on fence post.
South 11.72' from c.c. on fence post.
Northwest 8.28' from c.c. on fence post.
Northwest 9.79' from c.c. on fence post."
The coordinates, based on the MA state Lambert projection (C&GS adjustment 1941), are X = 695584.15, Y = 492110.88.
