This bronze marker is on the right side of the archway underneath the Klokkenspel. The Klokkenspel (glockenspiel) is two stories constructed of red brick. The first story is three arches that lead to a courtyard. The second story is where the glockenspiel figures perform. This "stage" is behind three large bay windows. Above the windows is a large white clock with black Roman numerals and black hands. The date plaque "1984" is above the clock.
The courtyard has a series of tile murals and a small fountain. The area is very nicely landsscaped. The text of the marker reads:
