Vanishing Dock and Moravian Corner Poetic Links to Poe
A derelict Dock and Moravian corner in Philadelphia is slated for demolition to yield a new structure. The site houses a 1839-41 period when Edgar Allan Poe lived and worked with William B. Burton at the Gentleman's Magazine, writing essays in a second floor corner room. The historic room’s loss ends a famed literary memory once tied to Poe’s Penn Magazine dispute and his brooding influence that drew readers globally, with the area invoking Nevermore as it disappears.
