May 2026 is the ten year anniversary of the sending of the Stonehouse History Group plaque to the English Tower in Buenos Aires, Argentina, to commemorate their centenary. The Tower was completed in 1916, built from Stonehouse Brick and Tile Co. bricks.
We received a message from John Hunter in Buenos Aires reminding us that the plaque is still there as they celebrate the 110 year anniversary.
