Washington National Cathedral Grotesques: Infancy & Old Age in Washington, D.C. by Jay Hall Carpenter, Lawrence Terrafranca

The Infancy & Old Age grotesques are limestone sculptures by Jay Hall Carpenter and Lawrence Terrafranca on the Washington National Cathedral in Washington, D.C. They depict themes of childhood and old age and are located on the southwest tower's west face. These grotesques are part of the cathedral's extensive collection of gargoyles and grotesques that blend artistic symbolism with Gothic architecture. The site is accessible via the nearby Woodley Park - Zoo - Adams Morgan metro station.
