Scott Fitzgerald, his wife Zelda and daughter Scottie lived in this house from October 1931 to April 1932., During this period Fitzgerald worked on his novel Tender is the Night and Zelda began her only novel, Save Me the Waltz. , “Every place has its hours.... So in Jeffersonville (Montgomery) there existed then, and I suppose now, a time and quality that appertains to nowhere else. It began about half past six on an early summer night, with the flicker and sputter of the corner street lights going on, and it lasted until the great incandescent globes were black inside with moths and beetles and the children were called in to bed from the dusty streets.” , Zelda Sayre Fitzgerald, “Southern Girl,” October 1929.
