well of course kytnva

&
tho washington dc isnt actually subdivided legally
centered directly beneath the capitol dome on the rotunda floor
is the conventional quadripoint where the 4 unofficial but
ubiquitous semicardinal directional quadrants of the city meet

&
about 7 miles & 373 feet due south from there
is a real border stone in a crypt under a lighthouse
the original dc cornersone & ghost 1791dcmdvas1922 i think
& now only a mdva rock i think

& of course there are other vaulted multipoints in the usa
tho this one is deserving of special mention on several counts
etc

but it looks as tho you may have found the only known extant
indoor bm in the world that has never marked a multipoint
since i dont think stuff like the caus peace arch for example
would necessarily count as either a marker or indoors
