| Description: |
- A large horizontal dial with a steel gnomon much larger than the dial itself, yet aesthetically pleasing. The dial itself is an oval approximate 3 by 4 feet (1m by 1.1m) of concrete with bronze hour lines and numbers from 6am to 7pm. The dial and gnomon are surrounded by gravel, set in the center of a plaza contained by a 30 foot (10m) diameter hedge.
The dial, once thought lost to development, is in excellent condition, though trees have grown up over the years outside the hedge. The dial is nicely visible from Google Earth.
