The former mansion of country music legend Conway Twitty, located in the Nashville area, has been rescued from being destroyed. The current owners had initially intended to demolish the iconic home, but changed their minds after facing public opposition.
Twitty's property in the wealthy Nashville neighborhood of Hendersonville, Tennessee, was not only his personal estate but also the location of his famous tourist attraction called Twitty City. However, after Twitty passed away in 1993, the property was bought by Trinity Broadcasting Network. They transformed it into a complex for entertainment purposes, and currently, it is being used as the filming site for Mike Huckabee's Huckabee show.
Conway Twitty's home was at risk of being demolished due to the damage caused by a tornado that hit the area in December 2023. Frank Amedia, a representative of TBN's real estate division, proposed a plan to the Hendersonville Planning Commission. The plan involved demolishing all the buildings on the property, except for the Huckabee Theater, in order to create space for expanding the studio and constructing senior living facilities. This proposal received significant attention from the media.
The Board of Mayor and Aldermen initially voted against TBN. After receiving feedback from the public and meeting with Joni Ryles, Twitty's daughter who opposed the demolition, TBN has decided to change its plans. This update was reported by WKRN in Nashville.
The decision to take action regarding Conway Twitty's house was made after carefully considering the opinions of the city, praying about it, and meeting with various individuals. Despite the fact that it will incur additional expenses, the focus was not on the financial aspect.
The details of how TBN plans to preserve the Twitty Mansion have not been disclosed yet. However, Amedia has expressed his desire to utilize the property as a means of paying tribute to the renowned country legend.
