The new visitor center is the first park project to be completed as part of Mayor Michael Bloomberg's Design and Construction Excellence Initiative. By making it easier to get talented architects on the job, the program aims at bringing good design to even the humblest city-funded projects. The Poe Center was designed by Toshiko Mori, an award-winning architect and a former chairman of the department of architecture at the Harvard Graduate School of Design. — online.wsj.com

Happy to see this posted. This was a few streets from where I grew up; my playground Poe-park on the Grand Concourse in the Bronx. I remember the bandstand and of course the Poe house where I played games as a 6-11 years old. Poe's house is a small two-room wooden place, with a bed and the stove in the same room. And of course i grew up reading and re-reading Poe poems, tales and supernatural stories. Thanks for posting.
