Independent voices from the TWT Communities
Music enthusiasts in the City of Brotherly Love are looking to rekindle a love supreme for the deteriorating John Coltrane House, a preservation effort that mirrors a broader mission to reclaim and promote Philadelphia's rich jazz heritage.
Gallas, who attended Friday's event, said historic homes-turned-museums often struggle with attendance and finances because they fail to take on interactive, broader roles in the community.
Ideally, future plans for the home will include programming and neighborhood engagement, said Walter Gallas, director of the northeast field office for the National Trust for Historic Preservation.
