Its original site was on that grassy triangle of lawn in front of Halladay Hall, but was bumped from there in the '50s when the connector street was put through. Another forgotten NC State landmark, a 7-foot tall granite drinking fountain, stands hidden behind Primrose Hall. This was a gift of the class of 1914 and originally stood in the center of the quad bounded by Leazar, Watauga, Halladay and Peele Halls. Don't know when it was moved from there, but has been at its current spot for as long as I can remember. An evocative shot of the sundial, btw: Makes me think of that Rolling Stones song "Time waits for no one..."
