- Children's Hospital Medical Center, 300 Longwood Ave. Originally in the Prouty Garden, it now may be located on the roof-top garden somewhere in the raised beds. But you need to be either a hospital employee, a patient or a family member of a patient to gain access. It’s not open to the general public.
- Description:
- A small bronze horizontal dial with bronze figures of a bird with baby birds in nest and pulled worm as gnomon. The whole dial on originally set on a large granite boulder. The dial may have been moved to the roof-top garden, but a photo of the garden shows no large boulder. A possible photo (seen in a Getty commercial image) shows the dial on the ground missing the gnomon. It may not have even been orientated properly to be used as a sundial when it was moved up to the rooftop.
