This monument to Baltimore-born guitarist Frank Zappa (1940-1993) is a cast of a sculpture installed in 1995 in Vilnius, Lithuania. In 2006 when the Vilnius monument was renovated, fans had a copy made as a gift to Baltimore. The bust was installed in Sept. 19. 2010 outside the Southeast Anchor Library, a branch of the Enoch Pratt Free Library in Highlandtown. The sculpture sits on the southeast corner of Eastern Avenue and Conkling Street, on a stretch of street now known as Frank Zappa Way.
