This Gothic Revival Episcopal cathedral was completed in 1906, replacing an earlier church that burned in the 1901 fire that destroyed most of Jacksonville. Its architecture features numerous gargoyles, one of which I caught snarling against a background linking a slate roof with a stone wall. Gargoyles first appeared on medieval cathedrals, and were used to divert rainwater. This one seems to be positioned above a ledge that probably contains a rain gutter.
