Pigeon House Branch is a much-abused creek that drains the northwestern quadrant of downtown Raleigh. It criss-crosses Capital Boulevard from Peace Street to Crabtree Boulevard, and these pictures trace that path down to its mouth at Crabtree Creek.

Thanks for this wonderful documentation of Pigeon House Creek. Even in its neglected state, these photos show what potential there is for daylighting and integrating the creek back into the fabric of downtown Raleigh. What if in five years time, these photos of Pigeon Creek were updated to show a vibrant water feature or riverwalk instead!
Great info on a very cool and historic Raleigh waterway. I have built a vegetative roof that overlooks the tributary that connects the runoff from Fletcher Park water park. If anyone is interested in seeing what we're doing feel free to let me know. We are trying to build a few more that will greatly reduce storm water runoff into pigeon house branch
