Edgar Allen Poe, one of America's most original writers, lived in this redbrick home, which is now a historic site.
He lived with his wife, Virginia, and his mother-in-law, Maria Clemm, for about a year before moving back to New York.
During that time, he penned The Black Cat, which describes a basement eerily similar to the one here. He also published three of his masterpieces, The Tell Tale Heart, The Fall of the House of Usher and The Gold Bug.
