Reviews of Aretha Franklin Birthplace
"Really rough neighborhood be alert when going, definitely an early day trip not at night. Would be nice to do more for her the building is condemned but there is a historical marker there."
"Nice to see a part of history. The house is boarded up and fenced off but seems like people get inside to leave gifts and unfortunately vandalize the property. It would be wonderful if they restored it at some point. The entire neighborhood though could use some overall revitalization."
"To some 406 Lucy Avenue Memphis TN 38106 is just a boarded up house in a blighted neighborhood. However to those that love music history and nostalgia this is sacred. Why is it sacred? Because the Queen of Soul Aretha Franklin was born here. Aretha Louise Franklin was born March 26, 1942 in Memphis Tennessee. I cannot imagine what it was like back in those times but to see where she came from to what she became in her life is astounding. The dwelling is marked as a Historical Landmark but it is unkempt and not restored. I pray that some group be it her family or her fans find a way to restore it and make it a museum."
"So sad to see it in such bad shape. Gives you a great idea of where the star came from."
"It’s a shame someone can’t keep this property in better condition. Sad to see her home in such disarray. The neighborhood surrounding it isn’t much better, so it’s no wonder it’s been vandalized. Disappointing to think people have to destroy other peoples property just for fun. Still, it was nice to see where she grew up!"
