Edgar Allan Poe House
532 North 7th St, Philadelphia, PATel: (215) 597-8780 • Web: Visit this site »
See where the "master of the macabre" penned his American masterpieces. During the six years (1838-1844) that he lived in Philadelphia, Poe wrote and published some of his most groundbreaking tales including: "The Murders in the Rue Morgue," "The Fall of the House of Usher," and "The Tell-Tale Heart." The three-building site creates a sense of literary curiosity. What type of surroundings could have inspired a man to put to paper his morose visions of death and betrayal? Admission is free to the public.

- The mural on the adjacent apartment, the raven statue, the video, the ranger.
- The walk there from center city is a little stressful, it's not far but the elevated highway makes it weird. The neighborhood is not touristy.
“Interesting site; they could have 'recreated' one room everything is real, but bare walls are the main characteristic.”
