When it seemed like there is no other way that could finish Gutzon Borglum’s original plans for the Hall of Records and his dream will never see the start. Then, on August 8, 1998, the proposal for beginning the construction of the Hall of Records was passed. Though in the proposed plan the size was reduced still, Gutzon’s dream was alive. They even added a repository of records at the entry gate which was kept on teakwood box inside a titanium vault which was covered by a granite capstone.
