Marilyn Monroe’s final home declared landmark, saved from demolition
The current neighbors wanted to knock the residence down to expand their estate.
The beloved final home of Hollywood legend #Marilyn #Monroe has been declared a historic cultural monument by the Los Angeles City Council after it was granted a last-minute reprieve from demolition in October 2023.
In its application for landmark status, the L.A. #Conservancy, a nonprofit dedicated to revitalizing historic buildings and places in the city, called Monroe’s former residence “the first place she sought out and bought for herself and on her own.”
Brinah Milstein and Roy Bank, the current owners of the home, live next door and bought the property for $8.35 million to demolish it to expand their own estate, EuroNews reported. They have filed a lawsuit against the city that remains pending.
LOL I read it too fast and thought it said Marilyn Manson until I saw the pic.
Reading is tough at times.
Sure, above all when you happen to be Taskmaster, hence read - and write - hundreds of Threads per day, if not thousands of them 🙃.
Yeah. Well it is the downside of adding more. But the tradeoff is worth it I believe.
Maybe should have written Norma Jean Baker, Marilyn Manson is still alive... He looks dead though! 😆
LOL he looked dead 30 years ago. He can be looking any better.
Of course Alice Cooper is in his 70s and still dancing around...and he looked dead, well, in the 1970s.
