Poe-se with the Raven
NPS photo
Quoth the Raven: Impress your friends and family with a photo of the raven statue.
Artist David Caccia sculpted the statue in 1980. Made of bronze painted black, the raven sits atop a 12-foot-tall steel pedestal. With an 8-foot wingspan, the raven casts its shadow on the south side of the 530 N. 7th Street house. Yep, that's pretty awesome.
