ALBUQUERQUE — Fans of Jim Morrison, the late singer for The Doors, are in a push to preserve his childhood home in New Mexico.

A group of fans want his northeast Albuquerque home designated a historical site and placed in a list of tourist attractions in the city, KOAT-TV reported.

Historian and fan Anthony Gomez says because Morrison spent important years in New Mexico’s biggest city, his childhood home should be protected as a remembrance.

"Living in Albuquerque for a while, I think he should have a spot here,” Gomez said.
