Cornerstone

There was a time when building cornerstones were considered important symbols of construction and reminders of the past.

When they tore down the original Queen’s Hospital building in 1922, they saved a piece of the building’s cornerstone that had stood there for 62 years (since 1860).

As it was too large to use as a door stop (please excuse me while I enjoy an idiotic laugh at my own expense), they put it in a glass case for me to see the last time I had to chauffeur someone to Queen’s for medical tests.

How nice of them to do that. I appreciate it.
