Site 2: St. Louis University Hospital
on the
St. Louis Sundial Trail
On Vista Ave. just a few yards West of Grand Blvd.
in the city of St. Louis, there is very
nice, vertical-sundial on a South-facing wall in the
St.
Louis University Hospital complex. The sundial,
shown below, is held in the hands of the statue, with an
inscription reading Sicut In Coelo Et In Terra (On
Earth as it is in heaven)* The materials used in the
construction are sandstone and copper.
* Picture and translation from entry #553 in the sundial registry of the North American Sundial Society.
