Edgar Allan Poe National Historic Site rowhouse and garret

The Edgar Allan Poe National Historic Site preserves the small brick rowhouse at 532 North 7th Street where Poe lived from 1838 to 1844 and wrote and revised early tales and poems. The house museum includes narrow rooms and a small upper‑floor garret area associated with his writing life. Located among Old City rowhouses, the site’s modest facade can be easy to miss amid nearby historic attractions.
