On the 200th anniversary of Edgar Allan Poe’s birthday, in 2009, the city renamed a small plaza the Edgar Allan Poe Square, installing a street sign with the name. Edgar Allan Poe was born the nineteenth of January in 1909. The street and house where Poe was born no longer exists, so the square was established to commemorate the site. The Edgar Allan Poe Square is located where Charles Street and Boylston Street meet, close to where the house of Poe once existed, near Boston’s theater district. Visitors will find a number of different references to Poe in the area.
