]]> The house where Edgar Allan Poe was born on January 19, 1809, no longer exists. But in 2009, to commemorate the 200th anniversary of Poe’s birth, Boston renamed a nearby plaza after the author. A plaque was installed nearby decades ago and has recently been joined by a statue. It shows Poe striding down the street, jacket flapping. Unsurprisingly, he’s flanked by a corvid companion—and, of course, a heap of books.

The branch moved to a temporary location on the corner of Cambridge and Joy Streets and then to its current location in 1968, in a new building designed by architects Maginnis, Walsh, and Kennedy.
