Exploring the High Bridge

Edgar Allan Poe lived in The Bronx from 1846-1849. The cottage in which he lived still stands today at Poe Park, on the Grand Concourse and East Kingsbridge Road, where he wrote "The Cask of Amontillado," "Annabel Lee," and "Eureka." One of Poe's favorite haunts was the High Bridge, which was just completed at the time. The High Bridge stands today as the oldest bridge in New York City.
