A school seems like an unlikely place to see these ghoulish figures.

The Harding Jr. High School, built in 1924 is a large three-story brick building, with elaborate stone entrances. The main entrance on the east side has a cast stone archway, with frieze artwork. Above this entrance on the second level are five tall windows. Beneath the sills of those windows, are four chimera. They appear to be the decorative, and non-waterspout variety.

Chimera on a school building seems a little strange, but perhaps there was a symbolic purpose known to those who designed the building.

The far left chimera has the look of a lion. The far right chimera looks like a pig. The two in the middle don't seem to resemble any specific animal.
Water spout is used: no

Condition: Lightly Weathered
