| Description: |
- The Griswold-style bronze dial is 11 inches (28 cm)in diameter and closely aligned to true North. The gnomon is set at a generic angle of 40°, while the site latitude is 38°. The dial sits atop a fluted stone column 38 inches (96.5 cm) tall that has a round cap of 16.5 inches (42 cm) diameter and 4 inches (10 cm) thick. The column sits on a two-part square base with an upper tier that is 17.75 inches (44.5 cm) on each side and 3 inches (7.6 cm) high and a bottom tier that is 22 inches (56 cm) on each side and 7.5 inches (19 cm) high and engraved with the family name “STEIN.”
The plot is the burial site for Luther R. Stein (1987-1957), a prominent and civic-minded businessman. Four other family members are buried in the plot, and there is also a cenotaph for a son missing in action in 1943.
