Jim Morrison’s Childhood Home in Florida Hits the Market
- by Scott Heidler
MELBOURNE, Fla. (WESH) — One of rock’s first icons – Jim Morrison, had humble beginnings in Melbourne before he rocketed into legendary status.
As his father was in flight training during World War Two- at what’s now Melbourne Orlando International Airport – Morrison was born at the nearby Brevard Hospital in 1943. It's now gone.
But what’s not gone is the small house on Vernon Place in downtown Melbourne where Morrison spent his early childhood. And this slice of rock history – is up for sale for $2.5 million. The agent selling the property is confident there’s someone out there willing to pay that price.
