      So glad that you posted this. I remember hearing about this on a documentary that aired on local TV when construction was completed, but I've never been able to find it on my own!

      the link you have in the description no longer works—they've restructured the website. I found the page though, here: www.nationalcathedral.org/about/darthVader.sh tml

      its a tough Gargoyle to find. I would suggest you ask the people giving tours for a hint!
