The Jackson Apartment (as we refer to this apartment) is adjacent to the historic Merrill Apartment on the third floor of a mixed use Victorian building which also includes three shops at street level and two year round rental units on the second floor. The Merrill Building was purchased by the Pulitzer Prize winning American poet, James Merrill, in 1955. He summered there, much of the time with his partner David Jackson, until Merrill’s death in1995 when ownership of the building was given to the Stonington Village Improvement Association (SVIA). The Merrill apartment is maintained by the Merrill House Committee of the SVIA as a place for work, study, and inspiration as part of a 15-year old writer-in-residence program.
