The Confederation Life building at 20 Richmond Street East is one of those buildings that's just covered in interesting carved bits. Among the decorative foliage you'll find dragons and gargoyles and this fellow. I think it's the architectural equivalent of an Easter egg and while I haven't yet found proof, I believe that it's a portrait of Confederation Life founder John Kay Macdonald.
