The Faces Of Old City Hall - 1 © Tapestry

This image shows some of the intricate and detailed work on many of the exterior walls of Old City Hall in Toronto. A bit about the architect and the designer (E.J. Lennex of Toronto) has been written in some of my previous images of City Hall. Although Lennox said little about the above designs, it has been said that the carved stone faces at the top of several of the columns resemble those of the politicians who criticised his work at the time. One theory suggests that the politicians are trapped in the fires of hell, as depicted in “Dante’s Inferno,” with the leaves around the faces representing the flames. Hope you like this one.
