The University and the City of Charlottesville honored author Edgar Allan Poe Monday by unveiling a historical marker outside he occupied on the Range for one academic session in 1826.
Charlottesville Mayor Maurice Cox spoke outside Poe's room, reminiscing about his first experience with Poe's literature and praising the author's prose and poetry.
Cox and other officials congratulated the city's Historic Resources Task Force for initiating the historical sign project.
Satyendra S. Huja, the city's retired director of strategic planning, told The Daily Progress that the University and the City split the cost of about $1,200 for the sign.
