The downspouts attach to the building by flanges extending from the downspout. The downspouts are attachable to standard gutters and elbows. At the corner of a building, downspouts are attachable to each wall forming the corner and an insert extends between the two downspouts to create a seamless appearance. Siding, brick, or other wall covering for the building extends from the downspouts. Downspouts also can be used in a corner or building, the inside corner of a building having a pair of flanges attachable to the building. Also, the downspouts can be attachable to a post, such as on a porch. The downspout may also contain a right-angle turn. In a right-angle turn, a trap is provided for the easy cleaning of the vertical downspout.
