friiskiwi: Are we looking for stones with writing on them, or will any stone at a corner of a building be O.K.? ( 5 years and 2690 days ago )
captgeo: I would say that it has to be he true "cornerstone" with the writing. ( 5 years and 2690 days ago )
Remsphoto: The thought was to have some message, date or inscription on the stone. Sorry for the confusion. ( 5 years and 2690 days ago )
MnMCarta: I still don't know what a cornerstone is. Been walking around my house looking for one all day! ( 5 years and 2690 days ago )
rbsgrl: Amanda! We need to make a trip downtown!! And since you miss me so much I am sure that you can find some time for me...just saying! ( 5 years and 2690 days ago )

UncleJimmy: If your not sure what exactly a cornerstone is, check out this article: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cornerstone ( 5 years and 2689 days ago )
rbsgrl: Sounds like a plan to me! ( 5 years and 2689 days ago )
Remsphoto: Unfortunately I haven't seen a cornerstone entry yet, but all types of plaques. I thought this would be a clearer contest entry. ( 5 years and 2689 days ago )

friiskiwi: for those who can't be bothered following the link:
The cornerstone (or foundation stone) concept is derived from the first stone set in the construction of a masonry foundation, important since all other stones will be set in reference to this stone, thus determining the position of the entire structure.
Over time a cornerstone became a ceremonial masonry stone, or replica, set in a prominent location on the outside of a building, with an inscription on the stone indicating the construction dates of the building and the names of architect, builder and other significant individuals. The rite of laying a cornerstone is an important cultural component of eastern architecture and metaphorically in sacred architecture generally.
This makes it pretty simple, it's a stone incorporated in a building, not necessary on a corner, but with inscription about the construction.
Not a plaque about the opening etc. ( 5 years and 2689 days ago )

meatman: IMO, some of the entries need removed because in no way, shape, or form are they cornerstones. ( 5 years and 2685 days ago )
