Mason Leveling Ceremony
February 16, 2008
Despite the wind, rain and cold weather, the Mason Grand Lodge of Texas leveled the new CHISD building today.
Americans Masons have been leveling cornerstones since 1734, when Grand Master Benjamin Franklin presided the over the ceremony for Independence Hall in Philadelphia. Sixty years later, Master Mason George Washington leveled the cornerstone of the United States Capitol Building on September 18, 1793.
Since then there have been hundreds of public buildings, schools and churches which have had cornerstones leveled by The Grand Lodge of Texas.

I don’t understand why this new buliding was out of level to start with. How can a brand new building be out of level so soon?
