Well, I'm getting sick of the Poe house already, since mostly it's Pinheads
speculating, as opposed to people who have actually seen the artifact.

A useful website for the Poe house (prepared by one of its supporters,
Michael Deas) is at http://www.preserve.org/alerts.htm.  It's of good
quality, reasonably footnoted, not the usual hysterical thing.

That website also carries pleas to "Save Elvis' Teenage Home" and "Save the
Haughwout Building from Inappropriate Awnings".
