Dial House, Grade II listed building in Wisewood, Sheffield, England.
Dial House is a Grade II listed building in Wisewood, Sheffield, constructed in the 19th century with traditional architectural features and a working sundial positioned above the main entrance. The structure now forms part of a residential development that combines both apartments and houses while retaining its original exterior details.
The building was constructed in the 19th century as a country residence and underwent transformation into a social club during the 1930s. After operating for several decades, it was eventually converted back to residential use in the early 2000s.
The building's name comes from the working sundial that marks the facade, a feature that has drawn notice from locals and visitors exploring the neighborhood's older buildings.
The building can be viewed from the public street as it forms part of an active residential area, so you can observe its exterior features freely. The sundial and facade details are best seen during daylight hours when shadows and sunlight enhance their visibility.
The sundial on the facade actually functions and was carefully preserved during restoration work, remaining operational to this day. This working feature makes it one of the few Victorian-era buildings in the neighborhood that still maintains its original timekeeping element.
