The last place John Coltrane lived is a modest house in Dix Hills, New York, a quiet residential hamlet in the city of Huntington on Long Island. He moved there with his wife Alice in 1964, and died there three years later after having three sons.
The house, which is now owned by Friends of the Coltrane Home, was recently placed on the National Trust for Historic Preservation's list of "America's 11 Most Endangered Historic Places." Aside from being the home and practice space for an artistic visionary, it was also the house where Coltrane composed "A Love Supreme," his spiritually charged suite, and one of his most famous compositions.
