Edgar Allan Poe lived in this small wooden farmhouse from 1846 to 1849 writing some of his most famous works "Annabel Lee", "The Bells" and "Eureka". Poe lived with his wife Virginia and his mother-in-law Maria Clemm. Virginia was ill and they hoped that the country air of the Bronx, a very rural area at the time, would aid in her recovery. She died of tuberculosis in January of 1847. Poe died two years later under mysterious circumstances in Baltimore.
