U.S. jazz luminary John Coltrane wrote his iconic album A Love Supreme in his home on Long Island, New York, in the 1960s. Five decades later, the humble ranch house (pictured in 2008) has deteriorated due to lack of funds.

An organization called Friends of the John Coltrane Home has partially stabilized the vacant house but does not have the resources needed to fully restore the building.
