The Last Home of Jeff Buckley to Become an Airbnb in Memphis
The Upcoming Airbnb
Jeff Buckley’s last home in Memphis, Tennessee, is being remodeled and turned into an Airbnb by developers. According to the Commercial Appeal, Goode Development purchased the house at 93 North Rembert Street in March for $143,800. The house is still being repaired and restored, but it’s expected to be ready by November.
Background on Jeff Buckley’s Home
The house, located in a Midtown neighborhood, is significant to fans of Jeff Buckley, as it’s where he lived and worked on new music before his death. Buckley moved to Memphis in the years after he released his lone studio album, 1994’s Grace. He spent almost a year there, working on new music with his band, before his death. He drowned after going swimming, fully dressed, in the Wolf River Harbor.
A Sort of Shrine for Fans
Buckley’s home in Memphis has become a sort of shrine for fans, which is what attracted Goode and Lorrison to the home, which had been uninhabited for about a year. As Lorrison noted, "Nobody in Memphis was paying attention to the house," but when you look online, "you see people are coming here from all over to make videos of the house and trace Jeff’s steps in Memphis."
Inspiration and Design
Goode and Lorrison plan to decorate the Airbnb with period-appropriate furniture, though a friend of Buckley’s, Memphis music writer Andria Lisle, told the Commercial Appeal that the musician didn’t have too much furniture in the house at the time. "The house was really spare," she recalled. "It was a tiny, wonky, Midtown house, typical for that neighborhood. He borrowed a gorgeous Victorian couch from David [Shouse of the Grifters] and Tammy, but other than that, he kind of just had a phone, an answering machine, and a mattress. He always had a pile of books and CDs. He moved from room to room, following the sunlight."
