Jim Morrison’s Childhood Florida Home Hits the Market for $2.5 Million
- by Krystal S
One of rock’s classic icons—Jim Morrison, spent his childhood and humble beginnings in Melbourne, Florida, before he skyrocketed to legendary status.
As his father was in flight training during World War Two—now Melbourne Orlando International Airport—Morrison was born at the now nonexistent Brevard Hospital in 1943.
But what’s not gone is the small, cozy house on Vernon Place in downtown Melbourne where Jim Morrison spent most of his early childhood. This slice of rock history is up for sale for $2.5 million. The agent selling the property is confident that someone, or a Doors lover, is out there willing to pay that price.
The home was last purchased for $225,000 back in 2007.
