The Long Island house the place John and Alice Coltrane lived collectively within the 1960s has been named a National Treasure by the National Trust for Historic Preservation. The Coltranes purchased the home, situated within the Dix Hills neighborhood of Huntington, New York, in 1964. John lived in the home till his 1967 demise; Alice stayed there till 1973 when she offered the property.
The Coltrane Home is the place John was stated to have composed a lot of A Love Supreme. Alice recorded her solo debut, A Monastic Trio, within the basement.
The National Trust for Historic Preservation plans to renovate and protect the Coltrane Home, which the group says is in disrepair. According to the National Trust’s web site, “Future work will involve planning for the landscape and use of the land as a park, and—as part of the home’s interpretation—bringing the famous basement recording studio where Alice recorded her first seminal works back to life.”
Earlier this 12 months, the National Trust for Historic Preservation named Nina Simone’s childhood home in North Carolina a National Treasure.
