A magnificent example of some of the many Fayetteville NC homes is the Edgar Allen Poe house. No, not the the poet but a Fayetteville businessman of the late 19th century. I've taken the tour myself and it really is a trip back in time. Sorry this one is not for sale.

The house is located next to the Museum of the Cape Fear another worthwhile stop. There is a footbridge on the grounds of the museum that takes you across highway 87 to the Ghost tower which is a huge metal structure that stands on one of the corners that the original corner tower, one of four, used as lookout for the arsenal.
