Edgar Allen Poe House

The Edgar Allan Poe House and Museum is a row home at 203 North Amity Street in Baltimore, Maryland, United States. Serving as the home of American writer Edgar Allan Poe in the 1830s, the small, unassuming structure was opened as a writer's house museum in 1949. It was designated a National Histori

c Landmark in 1972. Due to a loss of funding by the city of Baltimore, the museum closed to the public in October 2012. Poe Baltimore, the museum's new governing body, reopened the museum to the public on October 5, 2013. The house is the site for the International Edgar Allan Poe Festival & Awards, held in October of each year.
