Johnny-Cash-Home-BurnedJohnny Cash’s Nashville home that had been sold to Barry Gibb burned to the ground today. The home was being treated with a wood preservative that was very flammable and contributed to the home burning in mere minutes.

The home was a Nashville landmark. What a shame.

According to fire chief, Jamie Steele, the fire began at 1:40 p.m. as firefighters were immediately dispatched. Though firefighters arrived only five minutes after the call, the home was already engulfed in flames. The fire had spread quickly, according to Steele, because construction workers had recently applied a flammable wood preservative. Only the steel frame and chimney of the music legend’s home remains.

Though the home is currently owned by Bee Gees front man, Barry Gibbs, the home is considered by many Tennesseans and music fans alike as a national landmark where both Cash and his wife, June Carter Cash, lived until their passing. The 13,880 square-foot home played a major role in the Oscar nominated bio-pic of Cash, Walk the Line, starring Joaquin Phoenix and Reese Witherspoon, who is also a Nashville native. The home has also been a frequent stop of country-music based home tours in the Nashville area. via Associated Content
