Dark, crowded and gloomy, Poe's home has been preserved and it's hard to imagine several adults living in these tiny cramped rooms. Winters must have been awful. The stairs are tight, twisty and dangerous. Worth the visit to walk the same floors that Poe did.
In a tiny brick house on Baltimore’s North Amity Street in 1833-1835, Edgar Allan Poe wrote some of the early stories that would make him the father of the modern short story, and create and define the modern genres of mystery, horror and science fiction. The Edgar Allan Poe House & Museum is open to the public for tours on a reservation basis. Please visit our website to book tickets and for updates & events.
