[3] Coltrane composed his album A Love Supreme, widely considered his magnum opus, in his practice room in the house.

In 2002, the 3.4 acres (1.4 ha) house and property faced demolition and development until Steve Fulgoni, a local historian, discovered its provenance.

Fulgoni alerted Alice Coltrane, owner Ash Agrawal, and the Huntington Historic Preservation Committee, who together sought a benefactor to buy the home in 2004.

In 2011, the National Trust for Historic Preservation included the home on its list of the America's Most Endangered Places.
