At the end of his life, Edgar Allan Poe resided in this small cottage in the Bronx. His wife, Virginia, suffered from Tuberculosis and the pair thought that a new lifestyle, away from the polluted streets of downtown NYC, would help her to recover her health. Of course, being away from the hustle and bustle of city life also encouraged Poe’s writing, and he crafted famous works like “Annabel Lee”, “The Bells”, and “Eurika” while living here.
