Turning west walk about fifty paces to the corner of Hastings and Hamilton. It was at this point that Lauchlin Hamilton at the tender age of 33 drove a stake into the ground to officially mark Vancouver's first intersection in District Lot 541. The plaque was installed in 1952 on the wall of the building standing at the southwest corner. Since removed for an extension of SFU to be completed, the Pre-Reconciliation marker has given way to textbooks and a cafe.
