With the correct address of The Home finally revealed, Fulgoni was able to visit the house and see it for himself. The house had been sitting vacant for three and a half years and left to succumb to the elements. Fulgoni then made a horrifying discovery. He learned that there were active plans set in place to demolish the home. If the demolition plans were to follow through, the plot of land the house sat on would be subdivided, and the house itself would no longer exist. What most people failed to realize was the fact that the house was not just the place where the Coltrane’s lived, but a place where historic breakthroughs were made not only in the realm of music, but in society as a whole. The upstairs room of The Home was where John Coltrane created his masterpiece album A Love Supreme, which remains one of the most historic contributions to the world of jazz music. Alice Coltrane also achieved great success within the walls of the house. She recorded and produced a selection of her greatest albums in the basement of The Home, being one of the only Black female artists of the time to record independently. The demolition of the home would mean losing a sacred space that had been infused with history and creativity. Realizing the urgency of this situation, Fulgoni took it upon himself to undertake a rescue effort to save the home and its history.
The project began with a passion and a vision for what The Home could become following its restoration. Fulgoni’s goal was to restore the home while combining the elements of a historic home and a functional space. He envisioned certain parts of the house to replicate what the space once looked like in the 1960’s while also educating visitors about the legacy of the Coltrane’s, similar to how a traditional historic house would function. Additionally, Fulgoni wanted the home to be a functional space for both meditation and education. Ideally, meditation classes would be held in Alice’s meditation room, giving participants the ability to connect with the spirit of Alice. Students and musicians would have the opportunity to utilize the in-home recording studio to make their own music just like Alice had once done. The ultimate goal of the restored home would be a place which gives the next generation an opportunity to learn, meditate, and connect in a place where such groundbreaking achievements were made.
