 the house and property  next door at 1431 Ducan was the home that Tennessee Williams shared  with his lover Frank Merlo himself who happily agreed to its use  even inviting Magnani (close friends of Merlo and Williams) and  Lancaster to use it as their dressing rooms. In later years,  Williams had an enormous mosaic of a rose tattoo embedded in the  floor of the pool behind the house, which is still there today.
