The former mansion of country music legend Conway Twitty, located in the Nashville area, has been saved from being demolished. The current owners have decided to change their plans after receiving public backlash.
Twitty's property, located in the wealthy Nashville neighborhood of Hendersonville, Tennessee, was not only his personal estate but also the location of the famous Twitty City tourist attraction. However, after Twitty passed away in 1993, the property was purchased by Trinity Broadcasting Network. They decided to transform it into a multifaceted entertainment complex. Currently, the property is being used as a filming location for Mike Huckabee's Huckabee show.
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. This was to create space for expanding the studio and constructing senior living facilities. The proposal attracted significant attention from the media.
The Board of Mayor and Aldermen initially voted against TBN. According to WKRN in Nashville, TBN has now altered its plans after considering public feedback and meeting with Joni Ryles, Twitty's daughter, who had previously expressed opposition to the demolition.
The decision to take action regarding Conway Twitty's house was influenced by the opinions of the city, as well as through prayer and discussions with various individuals. Despite the additional financial burden, the main concern was doing what was deemed right.
The details of how TBN plans to preserve the Twitty Mansion have not been publicly disclosed yet. However, Amedia has expressed his desire to utilize the property as a means of paying tribute to the influential figure in country music history.
