Mercer House, House museum in Monterey Square, Savannah, United States.
The Italianate mansion at 429 Bull Street features five French windows on the main facade, balconies with iron railings, and a classical portico with columns.
Construction of the house began in 1860 for General Hugh Mercer but halted during the Civil War until completion in 1868 by cotton merchant John Randolph Wilder.
The house gained national recognition through John Berendt's book 'Midnight in the Garden of Good and Evil', which detailed a 1981 murder case within its walls.
Tours run from Monday through Saturday between 10:30 AM and 4:10 PM, and on Sundays from noon until 4:00 PM, with closures every Tuesday and Wednesday in August.
The interior contains an extensive collection of antiques, including Fabergé eggs and Chinese porcelain, assembled by former owner Jim Williams during his residency.
