The former mansion of country music legend Conway Twitty, located in Nashville, has been saved from being demolished. The current owners had initially planned to demolish the house, but they changed their minds after facing public opposition.
The property owned by Twitty in the wealthy Nashville neighborhood of Hendersonville, Tennessee, was not only his residence but also featured a well-known tourist attraction called Twitty City. However, after Twitty passed away in 1993, the property was bought by the Trinity Broadcasting Network, who transformed it into an entertainment complex. Currently, the property is being utilized as the filming location for Mike Huckabee's show called Huckabee.
Conway Twitty's home was at risk of being demolished due to a tornado that hit the area in December 2023. The tornado caused damage to the structural stability of the former Twitty mansion. Frank Amedia, who is part of TBN's real estate division, proposed a plan to the Hendersonville Planning Commission. The plan involved demolishing all the structures on the property, except for the Huckabee Theater, to make space for a planned expansion of the studio and the addition of senior living facilities. This proposal received significant attention and scrutiny 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 has reported that TBN made this decision after considering public feedback and holding a meeting with Joni Ryles, the daughter of Twitty, who had previously expressed opposition to the demolition.
What will happen to Conway Twitty's house now is a question being asked. According to Amedia, they have listened to the opinions of the city, prayed about it, and held meetings with people. After considering everything, they have decided that it is the right thing to do, regardless of the additional cost it may incur.
TBN has yet to reveal the details of their plans to preserve the Twitty Mansion. However, Amedia has expressed his desire to utilize the property in a way that pays tribute to the renowned country legend.
