Along with the original house, there are also two adjorning homes housing exhibits and paraphernalia from Poe's life, including a reading room decorated according to Poe's "Philosophy or Furniture", and a film screening room. Another room holds a complete collection Poe's work, including criticism, as well as audio productions of his most famous stories. A statue depicting a stately raven, made famous by Poe's legendary poem, sits outside, and a trip to the basement brings to mind eerie similarities to one of his most famous short stories, "The Black Cat". Literature lovers have to make a trip to this historic locale, where the Philadelphia of the early nineteen hundreds comes to life right before your eyes. Apartment-ites looking to learn about more about one of the most famous figures in Philadelphia history need only take the short trip down to the Edgar Allen Poe Historical Site, and spend some times in the shoes of one of America's most mysterious wordsmiths.
