Edgar Allan Poe House and Grave
National Historic Landmark · Baltimore, Maryland
A very small brick house on Amity Street where Poe lived from about 1833 to 1835 with his aunt Maria Clemm and his young cousin Virginia, whom he later married, and a grave a mile away at Westminster Hall where he was buried in 1849 after being found delirious in the street in somebody else's clothes. Nobody has ever established what happened to him in those last days. Baltimore has claimed him ever since, put him on its football team and left roses on the grave for decades.
