Norris for General Hugh Weedon Mercer, construction of the house began in 1860. Construction was interrupted by the American Civil War, and finally completed around 1868 by the new owner, John Wilder. Before Hansford's death, as retold in Midnight in the Garden of Good and Evil, the house had already been the scene of two deaths. In 1913, a previous owner tripped over the second floor banister, fractured his hip, and suffered a concussion, dying three days later. In 1964, a boy chasing pigeons on the roof fell over the edge and impaled himself on the iron fence below.](https://images.trvl-media.com/place/6034190/ba4d6ccf-30bc-4909-bdea-97a8c508b144.jpg?impolicy=fcrop&w=1040&h=580&q=mediumHigh) ## Visit Mercer Williams House Museum Activities --- --- ## Plan a trip to see Mercer Williams House Museum Price found within the past 48 hours.
