The gutter bracket includes a frame member having a second pivot member. There is also provided a mechanism for attaching the first pivot member to the second pivot member for permitting rotation of the gutter bracket about the receiving portion of the fascia bracket so that the gutter bracket may be rotated between a first, rain-gathering position and a second, inverted position for emptying water and/or debris from the gutter.
