Gargoyles, Statuary and Other Ephemera on Toronto's Buildings

[jamesbow]

Dear Folks,

I'm looking to take photos of Toronto's gargoyles. I know about the ones on Old City Hall, Queen's Park and King's College. Are there any other favourites? What are yours?

The ones inside Osgoode Hall, in that room hidden upstairs - the barristers' lounge I think.

Check out Toronto, Carved in Stone by Margaret McKelvey.

They aren't technically gargoyles, but my favourites are the faces up near the top of Commerce Court North

There is a book on Toronto's gargoyles: Faces on Places by Terry Murray.

I was about to mention this. It is on sale at Book City at their Yonge and St. Clair location (west side of Yonge, half a block south of St. Clair) for $8 or $9. It was in one of the outside sale bins. Almost picked it up but was already overloaded. Looks very interesting.
