The cornerstone below is from the Quentin Roosevelt Post No. 4 American
Legion Hall dedicated by Quentin Roosevelt II, son of Medal of Honor winner
Brigadier General Theodore Roosevelt Jr.
Marker is at the intersection of South Street (County Route 106) and Lexington Avenue / Berry Hill Road, on the left when traveling south on South Street.
