EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the historic Old Stone House on Main Street in Richmond, Virginia. Dating back to the 18th century, it stands as the oldest known dwelling in the city and holds immense cultural significance. Over the years, this remarkable building has welcomed numerous presidents who have been drawn to its timeless charm. In a fascinating twist of fate, by 2010, the Old Stone House had transformed into something entirely different - it became home to none other than the Edgar Allan Poe Museum. This unexpected transition speaks volumes about Richmond's rich literary heritage and its deep connection with one of America's most celebrated authors. The wood engraving captured in this image was created by an American artist back in 1856. Its intricate details beautifully depict not only the architectural beauty of this historical gem but also evoke a sense of nostalgia for a bygone era. As you gaze upon this print, you can't help but imagine all that these walls have witnessed throughout history - from presidential visits to literary inspiration. It serves as a reminder that buildings like these are more than just bricks and mortar; they hold stories within their very foundations. This Granger Collection photograph transports us back in time, allowing us to appreciate both Washington's headquarters and its subsequent transformation into an iconic museum dedicated to Edgar Allan Poe's legacy.
