Regarding The Big House. Excerpt from the music history tour pamphlet:

Now The Allman Brothers Band Museum at The Big House, this Tudor Revival home was a rental property discovered by Linda Oakley who secured it as a home for her, the Allman Brothers Band bassist Berry Oakley, and their daughter Brittany. Various members of the band, including friends and roadies, lived in “the Big House” from 1970–1973. The first residents were the Oakleys, Duane Allman, his lady Donna, their daughter Galadrielle, Berry’s sister Candice Oakley, and Gregg Allman.
