H.P. Lovecraft's Providence

This map found on the great Lovecraft's Legacy Blog by Chris Perridas was too good to pass up. It is a hand-sketched survey of key areas that were important to both H.P. Lovecraft and his stories. I do not know whether or not all of the places marked on the map still exist in more or less unadulterated forms since Lovecraft's day. I imagine a good many of them do. However, St. John's Park--the site of the church that inspired Starry Wisdom in "The Haunter of the Dark"--is lacking its Lovecraftian landmark, as the building was torn down in the early 1990s. Still, this map provides an efficient, quick overview of the Providence areas most endearing to HPL.
