During the six years that Edgar Allan Poe lived in Philadelphia at 532 N. 7th Street (1838-1844), he struggled with bad luck, personal demons, and his wife's tuberculosis. Even so, these may have been his happiest and most productive years. He wrote A Tale of the Ragged Mountains and The Balloon Hoax while living here. Check the park website before deciding to visit, as they are open for limited hours.
We handcraft this replica in 3/4" thick wood in our Ohio workshop. Find Casper, our black cat mascot, tucked into the design as the signature of an authentic Cat's Meow.
