BALTIMORE. Edgar Allan Poe, the American master of suspense writing, wrote many of his most famous works while living in this tiny duplex in the heart of Baltimore. Originally built in 1830, the small home was the main residence of Mr. Poe for three years (1832-1835). #13;#10;The home has been restored to its condition during the years Poe lived there. Look for period furnishings as well as historic items like his traveling desk, a telescope, illustrations from his work "The Raven,", a rare portrait of Poe's wife, Virginia and and a copy of his obituary. Call ahead to confirm hours, which may vary slightly from week to week.
