In the early 1970s, the Grand Tudor-style mansion here served as the communal hub around which the family and musical world of the Allman Brothers Band revolved. With three stories, 6,000-square-feet, 18 rooms, a spacious kitchen, glorious bay windows and an inviting front porch, it became known as the “Big House.”
Dickey Betts wrote “Blue Sky” in the living room and “Ramblin’ Man
” in the kitchen of the Big House. “Please Call Home
”, “Ain’t Wastin’ Time No More
”, “Leave My Blues at Home
” and “Midnight Rider
” were all composed by Gregg Allman while living there.
