Hawthorne II — Rooftop Elephant

Belfast, ME

A life-size elephant named Hawthorne II has stood above the Colonial Theatre since 1997, staring down over downtown Belfast from the roof and marquee area. The elephant originally came from Perry’s Nut House and became one of the theater’s most recognizable eccentric features.
