A vertical monument and grave marker that features correctly aligned gnomons on all sides, pointing north at what appears to be the correct angle for the local latitude.

I didn't really notice the symmetry of the gnomons until I further reviewed my photos. I find the ones on the east and west sides that track early and later hours to be most interesting.
The bronze relief dial plates depict ethereal themes.
Frederick joined his father's law firm which became the renowned Winston & Strawn.
The sun was mostly obscured by clouds when I visited so I'll have to go back another time to set my watch.
