I did not know there were other structures similar to gargoyles, called chimeras, that were larger and were not used for draining purposes. I didn't know that certain characteristics, like a tongue sticking out, had alternate meaning. I agree that gargoyles should be preserved because they do represent mystical creatures that served a legit purpose: to drain water to prevent damage to the buildings. Their uniqueness should be preserved for future generations.

So do gargoyles come to life and fly around at night? Just kidding that's not my question. Haha do you know if there are any buildings in America that have gargoyles on them?
