Even though the last home of Marilyn Monroe was marked as a Historical Cultural Monument, it could still be demolished. Attorneys for current owner and real estate heiress Brinah Milstein and her husband, producer Roy Bank, filed court papers with Los Angeles Superior Court Judge James C. Chalfant in which they say the city is violating the law giving the home historical recognition. The pair bought the residence, which is adjacent to their home one street away and directly adjacent to their residence, in July 2023 for $8.35 million and have obtained a demolition permit from the city which was previously denied.
Chalfant signed an order delaying a nonjury trial of the case from March 13 to June 17 after the couple’s lead attorney, Peter C. Sheridan, lost his Pacific Palisades home in that area’s fire.
The good news is the home could be toured in the future as the owners are in favor of moving the home to another plot of land in Los Angeles allowing it to be moved and possibly toured in the future.
