The Edgar Allan Poe Cottage was the last homespun of the well-known American writer Edgar Allan Poe. A small cottage built in 1812 and positioned in the Fordham area of the Bronx, in whatever is now Poe Park, the significant house museum was a homespun to Poe, his wife Virginia, and mother-in-law Mrs. Maria Clemm. The well-known writer expired in it in 1849. The cottage is registered on the National Register of Historic Places and has been accomplished by the Bronx County Historical Society since 1975. NYC bought the cottage in 1913 and unlocked it as a house museum the similar year. Is your area known for any great writers?
