Description:
  • On wall of the passage from hallway to kitchen inside the house, just for exhibition. 9.5 x 19 inches, rough wood painted in black, roman numerals from 8 am to 5 pm on 1.5 inches wide frame, it was for hanging on a declining wall. Black iron gnomon rod, 1 foot in length, is supported with iron vine which is fixed to a point on the dial plate about 1.5 inches from the noon line. Unfortunately, the gnomon seems twisted, so that it points down over the noon line, like those for dials facing true south. Admission fee: $5.00 for guided tour. No photo allowed inside.
