Located on Bull Street in the historic district, this is the home made famous in the movie "Midnight in the Garden of Good and Evil". This home was owned by music composer Johnny Mercer (Moon River, When a Man Loves a Woman and Days of Wine and Roses). He wrote or co-wrote over 1100 songs. He died on June 25, 1976 in Bel Air, California. Mercer was buried in Savannah's Historical Bonaventure Cemetery. This home is typical of all the homes in the historic district. The home was later occupied by Jim Williams,a knowledgeable collector, an ardent student of history and architecture, and a born storyteller, who was the main character in the above mentioned movie. There is daily tours of this home and many others in the area. If you get the chance to see Savannah, please do so, you will be glad you did.
