The sign with Edgar A. Poe's signature is on the fence outside of Poe Park located on the Grand Concourse in the Bronx. The house is called the Poe Cottage and is where he lived for a short while with his wife, Virginia. He wrote many of his poems there. Virginia, pictured below, died at the untimely age of 24 years old. Poe was heart sick at her passing.
