Poe & Westminster Hall #141

Poe is interred at the Westminster Hall Cemetery. . ."Where Baltimore's History Comes to Rest. . ."

The Cemetery is very impressive. In fact, the church - which is in the style of a Gothic cathedral - is built upon the cemetery. This was done to preserve the grave sites. Later, rural burials became en vogue and may of the well-to do "residents" were exhumed and moved to Greenmount Cemetery. Their graves and crypts are still maintained at Westminster Hall. It's a fascinating place.
