Hess Triangle Blunder

In New York City, there is a pizza-sized plot of land sitting in the middle of a sidewalk. As a result of a surveying error, it was left as part of an estate. The heirs refused to donate this small plot of land to New York City and instead put a mosaic on the plot in 1922. The mosaic is still there, surrounded by a sidewalk.
