Gargoyles - Cathedral of the Madeleine Salt Lake City, Utah - Gargoyles and Chimeras on Waymarking.com

Eight gargoyles look down from the 185-feet-high east and west towers. They represent a petrified combination of a bird, a dog and a cat.The gargoyles are primarily decorative, and do not serve as water spouts as do those on many of the cathedrals of Europe. The original gargoyles placed on the Cathedral in 1917 weathered and eroded to the extent that they were nonexistent by 1930. In the 1975 restoration, eight new steel-reinforced gargoyles, weighing 1,200 pounds each, were placed on the Cathedral.
