Paul Horsted > Inside the Hall of Records at Mt. Rushmore, drill marks and holes are still visible on the granite walls, as are painted numbers, instructions left by sculptor Gutzon Borglum about the next layer of rock to be carved.

Paul Horsted > A lantern illuminates writing on the walls of the Hall of Records at Mt. Rushmore. The numbers were instructions written by sculptor Gutzon Borglum for his workers, telling them how much rock to drill or blast off in the next step of work. The Hall of Records project was abandoned in the 1930's to focus all work on finishing the faces on Mt. Rushmore.
