The closest a geohash has landed to the Glowing Cube itself was in June 1951. This date is interesting in that it was before the construction of the Glowing Cube, and is also early enough to break the meetup graticule template.

On this occasion, the geohash landed about 430 metres from the future site of the Glowing Cube.
