In 1922 the Tucson chapter of the Daughters of the American Revolution placed a granite boulder marked with the caption "South-East corner of the Old Adobe Wall that surrounded Tucson prior to 1845."
In 1926 the DAR placed three more markers to identify the other three corners of the original Tucson Presidio.
In 1930 the original granite boulder from 1922 was moved due to construction. It was lost, but a brass plaque was placed, 1955, on the floor of the Assessor's Office to mark the spot where the southeast corner was.
