Excitement All Around
Lance Humphries, the Mount Vernon Place Conservatory Executive Director, was excited. This non-profit organization preserves historical landmarks in the area. He said everyone knew a cornerstone was laid, but they didn’t realize it was in the building.
Not Excited Initially
The workers weren’t really thrilled with their find immediately. However, they soon realized how excellent it was, so they stopped working to dig out the piece. They brought out the block and saw that it was hollow inside!
