To see these sundials you need to step back and view from across the street. The south, west and north dials are easily viewed. The east dial is not visible from the street. It is a mirror image of the west facing dial with two gnomons to for spring summer and fall winter referenced to the zodiac declination lines. Note the two gnomons on the east and west facing sundials. This is to differentiate the spring summer and fall winter zodiac declination lines.
Sundial Type: Vertical - Wall mounted dial plate
