On the Mason-Dixon line at the PA-MD line about 2/10 miles east of the MD-PA-WV tri point.
This stone was placed in 1883 to mark, it was thought at the time, to be the MD-PA-WV tri point, but it was too far east.
A window has been installd on one side of the building to show the point where the two building were joined together. It also shows the contrasting methods of construction of the two structures.

This 1985 Sinclair C5 (if you've never heard of it, Wikipedia it - and you still won't believe it!) was bought from a Cornish junk shop in 1992 just before the launch of UK local radio station, Pirate FM102. It was liveried as one of the fleet of radio station cars as a joke played on one of the station DJs.
The CPU handing the video made the Sinclair ZX80 cheaper. It certainly did NOT make it faster!
