What can be done to save his home?

Thank you for your decision to preserve John Coltrane's house. He is a very important figure in the history of our culture and your decision to preserve the place where he lived, practiced and composed will be appreciated by generations to come.

Sincerely, Don Castellow.

To Whom it may concern,

I, too, am one of those musically conscious people who believe that the house that John Coltrane lived in and composed from should be slated for special recognition.

Mr. Coltrane's music was not only enjoyed by those here in America but was loved and respected around the world. The particular composition "A Love Supreme," dedicated to God and to man's universal love of the spiritual, is only one of many reasons that special significance should be sought for this dwelling. Mr. Coltrane's home needs to be preserved as a place from which great jazz, lasting music, jazz that is for all man at all times, emanated.

Greetings from Chicago! First of all, I wanted to express my thanks to you and your crusade to save this important historical landmark. I, as well as the countless others (I'm sure), appreciate you standing up for what is good and right. This is an important place and it must be restored. You can bet I will make the journey to see this place when it is restored to its original luster.

Keep up the good work.

Preserve Coltrane's Crib!!

I have been playing a saxophone since I was in the fifth grade. I still play with a group here in N.C. John Coltrane is a legend and I am 37 year old man sending you a note to tell you that John Coltrane represents a didactic enlightenment for present and future musicians. The schools are taking away the arts. Please don't continue to contribute to the errosion of a purely American art form (jazz) by destroying a memorial to one of it's key contributors. Thanks in advance for your consideration.

Great idea to save Coltrane's home. The influence he had on music will last forever. I would be willing to travel from Iowa to see it. Keep up the good work!

Dear Sir or Madame:

If I would ever visit someone's house it would be the previous home of John Coltrane. 

I was in college when I first heard "A Love Supreme" -- I heard John Coltrane several times before his passing. I am lucky for that experience. Truly a mentor of mine. How nice that you are making the effort to allow the world to just have a small glimpse of this great man's private life.

Thank you.

To Whom it may concern in Dix Hills,

Please, Please don't destroy this home. John Coltrane, as I am certain you know, was one of the greatest composers/improvisers/architects of jazz music. This building, in which he lived and composed -nothing less than "A Love Supreme", can be considered as having great historical significance and is, with or without officially recognition, a national landmark. I hope a way can be found to preserve it.
