Designed by John S. 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.

"First, if I could provide a half a star, I would. They followed through on my request for rose pedals on the bed. Fine establishment with a plethora of amenities. Professional staff and courteous service. The only drawback I would say is the sauna. Considering the fees we pay for staying here, charging guest to use the sauna down to the minute comes off as ill represented of a 5 star resort. It's bothersome today how resorts and hotels attempt to squeeze every dollar out of guests even when charging guests a "resort fee." But beyond that, the hotel was exceptional. "
