The gargoyles on old Toronto city hall were made to look like city councilors after disputes with the architect 😄

they were called gargoyles because this was the sound heard as the water came out of them

Player LizBettan, it specifically says they were used as water channels therefore gargoyles.

A Colorado Jet, most of our government buildings don't have Grotesques decorating them, because they are too busy sitting inside the state and federal parliaments.

Gargoyles are water spouts. Another kind of gothic architectural ornamentation are Grotesques. Grotesques are strictly decorative. They may, for example, be placed along a parapet.
Player LizBettan
they are Grotesques, Gargoyles spout water

aqualung, The final shots did involve gargoyles, yes. The final words spoken are "Why was I not made of stone like thee" Quasimodo played by Charles Laughton in The Hunchback of Notre Dame (1939)
Player Say what!?
Player LizBettan, Thank you. I was trying to remember that distinction but couldn't remember Grotesques.
