The blank wall of the eastern gable was relieved by stairs (with a balustrade) running diagonally across it -- the ascent being from the south. Under cover of the widely projecting eave these steps gave access to a door leading to the garret, or rather loft -- for it was lighted only by a single window to the north, and seemed to have been intended as a store-room.

In 2007, the proposed Visitors Center for the Cottage and Bronx Historical Society in Poe Park was honored by the New York City Art Commission's 2007 Design Awards. [37] The visitor center, designed by Toshiko Mori, opened in 2008 [38] [39] and was the first NYC Parks project completed under mayor Michael Bloomberg's Design and Construction Excellence Initiative.

The lake was deep -- at some points thirty feet -- but the rivulet seldom exceeded three, while its greatest width was about eight. Its bottom and banks were as those of the pond -- if a defect could have been attributed, in point of picturesqueness, it was that of excessive neatness. The shingles were painted a dull gray; and the happiness with which this neutral tint melted into the vivid green of the tulip tree leaves that partially overshadowed the cottage, can readily be conceived by an artist.Siento que estamos ante una especie de experimento o algo así, ya que realmente no hay una trama ni nada parecido. No se sabe qué es esto, ya que va desde un relato botánico a una guía de viaje. Esto último que menciono no es un problema, el problema es que esto fue concebido netamente para ser una lectura descriptiva. Hay una sobre descripción de absolutamente todo lo que los ojos del narrador ven: desde las medidas que conforman algo, hasta las yardas de tal distancia hacia equis lugar, los metros que conforman tal cosa, etc. y esto se aplica a todo lo referente habido y por haber del valle en el que el narrador/protagonista está excursionando.

El resultado de este experimento? Fallido. Difícilmente alguien simpatizará con esta obra, y en caso de que sí, es porque algo no funciona muy bien en ustedes. By the time, however, that the fog had thoroughly disappeared, the sun had made its way down behind the gentle hills, and thence, as if with a slight chassez to the south, had come again fully into sight; glaring with a purplish lustre through a chasm that entered the valley from the west. Suddenly, therefore—and as if by the hand of magic—this whole valley and every thing in it became brilliantly visible. The first coup d'oeil, as the sun slid into the position described, impressed me very much as I have been impressed, when a boy, by the concluding scene of some well–arranged theatrical spectacle or melodrama. Not even the monstrosity of color was wanting; for the sunlight came out through the chasm, tinted all orange and purple; while the vivid green of the grass in the valley was reflected more or less upon all objects from the curtain of vapor that still hung overhead, as if loth to take its total departure from a scene so enchantingly beautiful. Por otra parte, cuando ya casi me encuentro terminando el recopilatorio Narraciones extraordinarias, veía insuperable a El cuervo como la lectura que menos disfruté, debido a que es un poema y no conecté en nada con eso; pero, al menos me gustó su historia y concepto. En el presente título, no se trata de lo que pueda otorgar como material literario, sino que directamente no ofrece nada y estamos indudablemente ante la peor obra de su autor con la que me he topado, por diferencia.

The theme of the literary pendant or extension, suggested by Poe’s subtitle, is central to Graham’s concept in The System of Landor’s Cottage. He presents the work as a pendant to Poe’s original and extends the first story with a lengthy description of an annexe to the house described by Poe. The architectural extension is a metaphor for the literary supplement. This addition is inserted into the original narrative rather than following at the end, and is so much longer than the first story that it threatens to overwhelm it. Graham has explained:
