Marilyn Monroe's Brentwood house avoided demolition Wednesday after the Los Angeles City Council voted to designate it as a historic cultural monument.
The final home of Marilyn Monroe will not be demolished by property owners who sought to tear it down after the Los Angeles City Council voted to designate it as a historic cultural monument on Wednesday.Last July, real estate heiress Brinah Milstein and her husband, TV producer Roy Bank, purchased the Spanish hacienda-style residence located at 12305 West 5th Helena Drive in Brentwood for $8.35 million.
In it, he said Milstein and Bank had made an 'ill-disguised motion to win so that they can demolish the home and eliminate the historic cultural monument issue.' Chalfant said the property owners would not suffer irreparable harm since the council would address the matter. Preservationists and supporters have called the residence a beloved piece of Hollywood history.
