Edgar Allan Poe Cottage

The Edgar Allan Poe Cottage is the small wooden house where the poet lived from 1846 until his death in 1849 and is preserved as a museum. The cottage contains period furnishings and artifacts associated with Poe and interprets his late life and writings. It is one of the few surviving structures directly associated with Poe's life in New York City and is open to the public for guided tours and educational programs. The site is located on the Grand Concourse in the Bronx.
