The former mansion of Conway Twitty, a renowned country music artist, in the Nashville area has been saved from being demolished. The current owners had initially planned to tear it down, but after facing public backlash, they had a change of heart and decided to preserve the historic property.
Twitty's property, located in the well-to-do suburb of Hendersonville, Tennessee, was not only his estate but also the location of his famous Twitty City tourist attraction. Unfortunately, after Twitty passed away in 1993, the property was bought by the Trinity Broadcasting Network. They transformed it into an entertainment complex, and it is currently being used as the filming location for Mike Huckabee's Huckabee show.
Conway Twitty's former mansion was at risk of being demolished due to damage caused by a tornado that hit the area in December 2023. To accommodate the planned expansion of the studio and the development of senior living facilities, Frank Amedia, who represents TBN's real estate division, presented a proposal to the Hendersonville Planning Commission. The proposal involved demolishing all structures on the property, except for the Huckabee Theater. This plan received significant attention from the media.
After the Board of Mayor and Aldermen initially voted against TBN, the television network has decided to alter its plans. WKRN in Nashville states that TBN made this decision after considering public feedback and meeting with Joni Ryles, the daughter of Twitty, who had previously expressed opposition to the demolition.
The decision to take action regarding Conway Twitty's house was not influenced by financial concerns. After listening to the opinions of the people in the city, praying about it, and meeting with various individuals, Amedia and his team believed that it was the right course of action to proceed with some kind of plan for the house, even if it meant spending more money.
TBN has not provided any details about their plans to preserve the Twitty Mansion. However, Amedia expressed his desire to utilize the property as a means to pay tribute to the influential country icon.
