Some of the faces carved into buildings are beautiful and peaceful. Others seem pained and distressed.

   I love these building sculptures. I think they really add charm and whimsy to a building and also allow observers a glimpse into the architect’s fun side.

   I’m surprised not to see The Biltmore House. They have a great collection.

   These aren´t “sculptures”…they´re called gargoyles

   A lot of them are roof drains or waterspouts to move the rain water away from the building. Anything with an open mouth or other opening is probably a waterspout.

   Many of the cathedrals have great images. There’s an ancient bridge in Paris that is covered in gargoles.
