Edgar Allan Poe Cottage

It might not be your vision of Wayne Manor, but the Edgar Allan Poe Cottage is Batman’s real birthplace. His creators thought up the caped crusader while sitting on a bench outside the cottage.

The Edgar Allan Poe Cottage house is now a museum operated by the Bronx County Historical Society and was landmarked in 1966.

This modest structure is where the famed poet spent the remaining years of his life, deciding on the tranquil spot in 1844 in the hope that it would cure his wife’s tuberculosis Read more

In the middle of Grand Concourse and looking SO out of place is the cottage that could use a level to keep it from sinking. Bring the "bux" as the admission is non negotiable. There are hourly tours .

It's a shack and if you don't look quick enough you might miss it. It's right off the Grand Concourse between the E190s heading down toward Fordham Rd area

South of the Cottage, across the street on Kingsbridge Rd. (about a block away) is a plaque commemorating the original location . It is on one of the brick buildings that face west.

Poe lived in the house from 1846 to 1846, when it was part of the village of Fordham, and during this time wrote his masterpieces “Annabel Lee ” and “The Bells .”

Poe spent the last years of his life here, from 1846 to 1849, where he wrote many of his most enduring poetical works, including “Annabel Lee ,” “The Bells ” and “Eureka.”

Mysterious artifacts were found in the wall of a room where Poe’s young wife, Virginia, slept, and visitors can view the bed frame that she died on. Read more

The father of modern mystery and the macabre spent some of his final years in the Bronx, and wrote several well-known works in this cottage, including the poems "Annabel Lee " and "The Bells”.

Did you know? The cottage was built in 1812, and moved here from its original location across the street in 1913.
