SUNDAY South High School Denver, CO

South High School was designed by the architectural firm of Fisher & Fisher in the time's popular Romanesquestyle.
Although there are some differences, South's Clock Tower is thought to be a replica of the one at Santa Maria in Cosmedin.
Sculptor Robert Garrison created many of the building's adornment, including the 3 foot (1 meter) tall gargoyle above the building's main entrance; the symbolic protector of South inspired by a gargoyle at the Italian Cathedral of Spoleto.
