Wesley Hall Cornerstone Removal: Century-old Time Capsule Unearthed

At a ceremony marking the removal of the Wesley Hall cornerstone and the laying of the first stone of the building’s new façade, a 110-year-old time capsule was unearthed. The cornerstone removal was part of the stonework reconstruction of the “Castle on Portage.” The ceremony took place June 21, 2004—over a century from the June 26, 1894 date the cornerstone was initially placed.
