I know this section needs significant expansion, but to be totally honest I'm having trouble tracking down the sources as opposed to the old NY Times Archive. Suggestions? TRAVELLINGCARI My story Tell me yours 01:22, 18 March 2008 (UTC)
I've done a little work on this but will certainly add more later; a cursory search has shown a fair amount of info. By the way, I have re-organized the headings... not sure it's perfect so feel free to improve or remove! -- Midnightdreary ( talk) 02:58, 9 April 2008 (UTC)
I was raised in The Old Fordham Village area of The Bronx New York. Just a few blocks away from "The Poe Cottage" and "The Clemm Cottage". I was a member of The Bronx County Historical Society. I am an aquainted friend of Prof. Lloyd Ultan, Official Bronx Historian and one of the official historians for The City of New York. I have done extensive research on the history of Fordham Village, and some of the people who lived there in the area. Any Questions???

Per your question, I think they look good. Looking at this again reminds me I need to do something about the nasty redlink in the first paragraph -- that's been on my to do list for a while TRAVELLINGCARI My story Tell me yours 03:25, 9 April 2008 (UTC)
Around the early 1900's, "The Poe House" was threatened to be raised from it's original location on Kingsbridge Road, with Briggs Avenue to the back. Fortunately The Bronx Council of the Arts and Sciences group supported the saving of "The Poe Cottage", and had the structure moved across the street, what is Now "Poe Park", situated between Kingsbridge Road and The Grand Concourse. In the 1970's, due to vandalism and breakins, The Bronx Council of the Arts and Sciences, relinquished control over "The Poe Cottage" to The Bronx County Historical Society.
Unfortunately, the knowledge of "The Clemm Cottage" got overlooked over the years until the 1970's, when I and other BCHS fellow associates were looking over some old real estate maps at The BCHS Reference-Research Library, trying to designate "Old Fordham Village", as a historic neighboorhood", and saw the name "Clemm". "The Clemm Cottage" was located at it's original location on Briggs Avenue (near 195th. Street). Still a private residence sandwiched between building tenements (I later moved into one of those tenaments in 1978), the owner/residence claimed that we were mistaken... but a few years later, a neighboor-friend confirmed that it was "The Clemm Cottage". Tragically, in the early 1980's, the owner or resident left or retired to live with family... and "The Clemm Cottage" was abandoned. It was raized a few years later, too late in our failed attempt to get landmark protection.
We are convinced that Edgar Allen Poe's Mother-In-Law, Maria Clemm may have lived there at one time after Poe's death, or other Clemm family members resided there. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Aedwardmoch ( talk • contribs) 18:26, 31 July 2008 (UTC)
...that, despite the DYK at the top of this page, Edgar Allan Poe did not write "The Raven" while living at what is now called Edgar Allan Poe Cottage in the Fordham section of The Bronx in New York City? Ugh. -- Midnightdreary ( talk) 18:36, 23 December 2009 (UTC)
User:Jackheart314 is edit warring to include very poorly written content and a very poor quality photo that adds nothing useful to the article. Theroadislong ( talk) 19:32, 13 March 2015 (UTC)
why are you singling me out, the picture I haven taken is not of poor quality it clearly shows the rocking chair in full and clear view(which is one of the main attractions at the cottage) And why did you delete the part where I mention the 3 furniture's items that still remain from Poe's time, how is that not relevant?
"Poe Park and Kingsbridge Road today" picture you can barely see the cottage, and is the 3rd picture from the outside if any picture should be delete it should be that one and not mine!
