This day in 2007, the former home of Johnny Cash and June Carter burned to the ground in Hendersonville, Tennessee, while workers were restoring it for new owner Barry Gibb. Watching helplessly were next-door neighbors Marty Stuart and his wife Connie Smith, as well as Tommy Cash, T.G. Sheppard and some of the Oak Ridge Boys.

Barry Gibb sold the property June Carter and Johnny Cash called home for over 40 years in 2014 for $2 million. Both Johnny Cash and June Carter Cash died in 2003.

Barry Gibb purchased the home in 2006 and planned to write songs there. He paid $2.3 million for the seven-bedroom home built in 1968.

His plans to renovate and restore the home to its original grandeur were almost complete in April 2007 when a spark from a preservative caught fire and destroyed the mostly wooden structure.
