Edgar Allan Poe Cottage and associated lore

The Edgar Allan Poe Cottage in the Bronx was Poe's residence from 1846 until shortly before his death and is preserved as a museum commemorating his life and work. The cottage at the corner of Kingsbridge Road and the Grand Concourse is a focal point for literary tourism and for anecdotal stories linking Poe's macabre tales to unusual occurrences reported by visitors. The site is interpreted as Poe's last New York home and is maintained by the Bronx County Historical Society. Tales of hauntings or supernatural echoes of Poe's writing are widely circulated but remain anecdotal and debated.
