The Amherst House is considered by fans to be one of the most important (if not the most important) place(s) in Weezer history. It is featured prominently in the "[[Say It Ain't So]]" music video, which shows extensive shots of the garage, the kitchen and the backyard.

Around 2005 the current residents of the house were told they had to move out, as the interior of the house was to get a complete renovation. This spelled the end of The Garage as it was known. One final blow out party was organized by Justin Fisher, who had moved out years earlier when he got married but still had close connections to its current residents who were being evicted. At the party, Weezer fans cut off pieces of the famous, ugly, ineffective soundproofing used carpeting that had lined the walls and ceiling of the Garage for nearly 15 years, to keep as mementos. | Around 2005 the current residents of the house were told they had to move out, as the interior of the house was to get a complete renovation.
