Just Another Pretty Face

Gargoyles on the courthouse horse trough (1892), 100 E. Weatherford. Pretty sure these guys were in my PE class at Poly High.

Meanwhile, at the other end of downtown, four chimeras on the Al Hayne memorial fountain (1893) on Lancaster Avenue. Hayne died rescuing others when the ornate Texas Spring Palace (built in just thirty-one days) burned in 1890. He was the only fatality. Hayne, a civil engineer, was born in London in 1849.
