Edgar Allan Poe spent the last three years of his life in the Bronx. He lived in a cottage at 2640 Grand Concourse, near Kingsbridge Road. At that time the Fordham section of the Bronx was rural accesible by railroad. It was here that Poe wrote his poems "Annabel Lee" and "Ulalume". He cottage was small but a humble place to live. Rent was five dollars a month.
