Almost a year after being deemed a national treasure, Nina Simone's childhood home will be restored.

Before the legendary singer entertained the masses with her timeless array of songs, she was a regular kid in Tryon, North Carolina. According to Go Up State, restoration on her childhood home will begin this spring.

The quaint little house was designated a national treasure in June. And since then, the National Trust for Historic Preservation has developed a plan to move forward.

Senior Field Officer for the National Trust for Historic Preservation Tiffany Tolbert said there is a group of artists attached to the project to ensure the work is done. New York-based artist-owners Adam Pendleton, Rashid Johnson, Ellen Gallagher and Julie Mehretu will spearhead the bulk of the project.

“We are committed to realizing the artist-owners’ dream of seeing this home preserved and reborn as an act of social justice and a tribute to Ms. Simone’s unapologetic pursuit of musical, personal and political freedom,” Tolbert said in the group’s official statement.

After exploring their options, it was decided to repair the home in a way that will prevent future weather damage.

The artists purchased the home in 2017 when it was in danger of being demolished. They partnered with the National Trust for Historic Preservation's African-American Heritage Action Fund to save the historic landmark, restore it and repurpose it for future use, The New York Times reports.

Repairs, painting, siding and other minor aspects of restoration will begin in the coming months. In the meantime, Tolbert said they are in the process of choosing an architect to move the project forward as soon as early April.

Discussions about the interior use of the newly restored landmark are still ongoing. It could be turned into a museum celebrating the Priestess of Soul's life, but presently, the possibilities abound.
