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.
The marker on the northeast corner was in place until after 1976, but then disappeared. In 2007 it was found in the basement of the Historical Society still embedded in concrete. The Tucson Chapter, with the cooperation of the City of Tucson, has placed it on the exact spot where the ruins of the northeast corner of the wall are still visible.
