Jarvis Street Gargoyle

 Stone dragon jutting from the side of a building, near the roofline

Location: Jarvis Street facade, Jarvis Street Baptist
Date photo taken: 17 March 2017

This is one of several dragon-like gargoyles stationed on the exterior of Jarvis Street Baptist, the large, brown-stone church at the corner of Jarvis and Gerrard. Built by the firm of Langley, Langley and Burke, it was originally constructed in 1875 and then rebuilt in 1938 following a devastating fire.
