This sundial is inserted within a recess at the lower end of the Charlottetown tower that, in earlier times, served to hang the firemen's fire hoses. A half circle at the top is covered with decorations, while the pointer or gnomon is at the bottom pointing up. There is another small pointer to its right. The sundial faces Kent Street and is in close proximity to Queen Street.
A plaque on site reads as follows:
