Steve,
The part that you see under the portico is just a small piece of the rock
stepped upon in the first landing. The bulk of the rock has been covered over
by a number of waterfront development projects since 1720. The piece that you
see was removed and used for ceremonial functions for a long time. The mortared
crack is the result of its having fallen off of a cart during a political
rally. They used to chip off pieces to give to visiting dignitaries.
