Poe lived in four other homes while in Philadelphia, but the Seventh Street location is the only one still standing.
The National Park Service last December awarded a construction contract to LMG Property Group, Inc. to install a new fire suppression system throughout the site. The total cost for the project, including design work performed in 2018, will cost a little over $931,000. The author moved to Philadelphia in 1838 with his aunt and his wife, Virginia, seeking opportunities in the city’s literary scene. He wrote his best-known stories while in Philadelphia, including “The Murders in The Rue Morgue,” “The Mask of the Red Death,” “The Pit and the Pendulum,” “The Tell-Tale Heart,” and “The Black Cat,” the National Park Service said.
