- Description:
- A 24 inch octagonal horizontal dial probably made of marble. The dial is plain, with Roman numerals at the end of hour lines. The gnomon is a simple open triangle of well aged brass. The base is an octagonal pillar surrounded by flowers. The dial was struck by a falling tree in spring 2011. The gnomon style is broken and bent and the support has several large cracks. The falling tree also damaged the surrounding fence.

- Plaque at base: 'Mathilde Zwicker Klopsch/ Otto Paul Klopsch/ Class of 1896/ They met at this sundial when classmates / Their ashes rest here together until eternity.' (plaque put in place 1935, by their son.)
