Keep following our reporting on the Marilyn Monroe house landmark drama, including the billionaire owners suing for the right to demolish and making wild allegations of conspiracy. Our innocent email, a citizen communicating with the staff of an elected official, is Exhibit E in their petition for writ of mandate. esotouric.substack.com/marilynmonroe4 And we've got a scoop: the owners who sold the house to Brinah Milstein and Roy Bank almost tore it down--although it was described as a remodel--in 2023.

@@KnotsOfWonders it's important. This house is obviously of enormous interest to people all over the world, but there are so many historic buildings--many containing affordable units--that also are threatened with demolition without the required community notification and opportunity to object. We're grateful that Marilyn is helping to shine a light on how broken land use policy is in Los Angeles. Onward!
@@esotouric Yes, I'm from Singapore and I also recognise the significance of Marilyn's one and only home that she actually owned.

These billionaires need to be respectful of historical landmarks. They simply cannot use their money and status to destroy a piece of history which needs preservation and is of public interest for generations to come. They can live anywhere they want to in the world. Spare the tears as well, it is ridiculous and childish.
Don’t know what the owners expected. You bought the house of Marilyn Monroe. This house should’ve never been offered for sale. It should’ve been turned into a museum right after her death, so fans could continue to enjoy her legacy. Like Graceland.
it's not zoned correctly to be a museum. but it could be sold to Marilyn Monroe fan who is willing to fix it up. and make it like Marilyn Monroe's had it back in the day. if i had the money i would make an offer to do this.
Oh, I feel so sorry for these rich people. Poor them! To them I would say. How about you buy another property and build yet another over sized mini mansion that looks just like all your rich friends and let someone buy this property that would have a little bit of respect for a property that has a real tie with Hollywood history.
If I were the home owners, I'd turn it into a Monroe Museum filled with Memorabilia and charge tickets to visit the place and even book accommodation to stay overnight at Marilyn's last home. People all over the world are going to pay big bucks for this. It's basically passive income for them minus the upkeep. But no. They want to flatten it so their kids can have a bigger lawn smh....
Maybe the owners should just sell it to someone that would love to perserve Marilyn's memory. Why buy an icons house and destroy it. She's one of biggest Movie stars in Hollywood history. So sad, hoping her house gets saved and preserved.
They are overexaggerating to gain attention so that they may get their way. Our children are scared of drones...somebody ringing the bell...people looking at the house OH MY!!! Nothing more than crybabies with money! BOO HOO
The house has been there longer than they have existed, I wonder why they (billionaires) chose to live there specifically and buy that particular property? Especially knowing that it’s a very popular tourist spot. Did they think they could stop the millions of fans from coming… It’s been a tourist destination for a long time even when it was in disarray and poorly cared for, likely before they even lived there. It’s one of the most famous houses in the world and it is significant because she died there! The spiritual , emotional attachment that people have for a place like this is really beyond rational thought or understanding. They can’t be this ignorant, surely. On the other hand they are very brave to stand there and state their point of view and I empathise with their lack of privacy and the fact that the children are frightened because of drones. Everyone deserves the right to privacy inside their own home .However, Marilyn is literally one of the most famous people in the world , in history. They bought the problems along with the house. They should have known this would cause a huge uproar within the local communities and fanbase of Marilyn Monroe. Someone as famous as Marilyn will have attracted all manner of different kinds of people , including potentially dangerous , unpredictable people. The likelihood of having strangers breaking into a property like this was almost guaranteed to happen. I almost doubt that knocking it down will actually stop the fans from coming… if anything , it will probably make them come more often considering that many people do have an emotional , sentimental attachment to the area. When people become emotional they will do crazy things. If I was in their position , This alone would make me want to get my kids out of there. I just can’t believe they really were that naive when they purchased the property. Do they live under a rock. ?.
Very well put !!!! Don't buy a house beside a pig farm......and then complain about the smell !!! This house was one of the first places I visited on my first visit to Los Angeles many years ago !!! Way before drones and buses cannot get into the area as there is no exit !!!
The new owners are the corporate owners of Graceland And they see this as a money making opportunity to move the house and sell high priced tickets to enter and make a ton more money not caring about the landmark and millions of concerned fans and citizens
This is Hollywood's chance to make up for all the times during her career, that they told Marilyn, "now remember, you're not a star." If that were true, we wouldn't still be talking about her. Her last home is just as important as every other piece of her legacy, and therefore, should be preserved.
Even if they tear it down, people will still be up there to look at the spot that it was. People still go up to Celio drive, despite Sharon’s house being torn down.
Did Milstein build her house, then realize she didn't have any room for a yard? Or did she plan to buy the Hunter-Monroe house to tear it down all along. Because it would have made more sense to have bought the Hunter-Monroe house and tore it down first, before over building on her lot. She comes from a family that made their fortune in real estate. So it seems like getting in a spot where her house is so big, she has no yard, should have been something taken into consideration before building her house. Kind of silly to build a house so big on your lot, that you have no yard, then complain to the city that you have no yard.
It should be a Historical Landmark !!!! What is the reason they bought the property ?? Do they want to build on it ??? Is this all just BS so they can expand their home ???
It's not a landmark by any stretch of the imagination picture yourself living next door and you had idiots roaming around day and night, please get a grip and God bless
Why not just move to another home and leave her house alone. You knew it was MMs house and probably thought 'how cool!' Now the tourists bother you. Get outta here with that nonsense.😡
@@CathyRas65 Yep. Just because someone's a billionaire, doesn't mean they're smart. "Maybe I'll go and live next door to Graceland for a peaceful life," said no one, ever! 😅
It would nice if the owners who have a lot of money turned the home into a MM museum for the fans and decorate it like she had it when she lived there and had tours. They could live some place else.
What im not understanding is why the estate of MM which has been collecting revenue from all the licensesd products with her likeness, 60+yrs...has not seen to this situation long ago. I find it disrespectful bc she's made alot of people alot of $$$$ over those 60 years. 2 the neighbors next door..id really like 2 feel bad 4 u but that's a tall order..u knew what u were buying into. Shame on the estate 👹
I hope it is saved. Look what happened to Pickfair - that was certainly a tragedy. Other countries cherish their pasts. Please don’t let it happen again!
Her argument is intended to cause us to feel sorry for her, but there are points to consider if you've been to the area that keep me from feeling sorry for her. There is nothing more disturbing than the sound of jackhammers, nail guns, hammering, buzz sawing and back up truck alarms, radios blasting, oh wait...maybe leaf blowers are...but that is the neighborhood surrounding Marilyn's house. Developers tear down beautiful historic properties to build ridiculous-looking uninspiring military style fortresses. I don't believe her when she says people even have access to her front door to ask for access to Marilyn's house. Fancy New York lawyers (he almost said "Brooklyn" when he meant Brentwood) are genius' at composing convincing testimonies, but this one is horse manure. Tour buses cannot get down 5th Helena, it's basically an alleyway. People do drive or walk to the driveway gate, but there is no graffiti and anyone who does that is for the most part respectful. That's because they love Marilyn.
If you are going to buy a house in an area of notable homes with the intention of demolishing it you need to do your due diligence. First you need to look up the architect, the firm they worked for and if possible the builder. Then you need to find out if any of the buildings that architect designed have a historic, heritage or culture designation. While Monroe did live there, Harbin Hunter the architect who designed the house has had another building he built receive a designation. He is an architect of note. So regardless of who lived there, the house was built by an architect whose work has been recognized and designated as deserving protection. Before buying this house to tear down, Milstein should have approached the city's building department and gotten approval before buying the house. Being honest with the head of the building department and saying you know this house was built by an architect who has had another property they built get a protective designation, but that this house hasn't been maintained and is in rough shape and you want to know before you buy it if it can be demolished and the land annexed onto your house nextdoor. They will probably say, let me look into it. Also checking with city council and telling neighbors around both properties what you want to do. Yes this is opening a can of worms. But it's better to open it before you buy the house. If the Milsteins real estate agent knew they intended to demolish, they house, they should have given them advice to sort it out before buying. I wonder if Milstein was hoping to quietly have the house demolished without Monroe or mission style architecture fans finding out. If her house is the big black house behind Monroe's it looks like a large pole barn, possibly an indoor equestrian barn. If the 2 houses, the 1 designed by Hunter might be in worse shape now, but it is more interesting, beautiful and historic. Monroe worked hard to make the money to buy that house when most women didn't or couldn't afford to buy their own property. It's sad that history and distinct houses will be lost for people who want McMansions. When Milstein first built a huge house on her lot, she must have realized having a yard would be a problem. Was she always planning on doing this? If so being up front might have saved time and effort.
Very well done by the Los Angeles City Council and the entire country, Marilyn Monroe's house should be respected because it is a living historical monument, of what has been one of the biggest stars in the world, followed by the entire world. Marilyn's house is untouchable and that's how it has to be, not everything in this life is worth money, much less destroying the history and culture of a country.
The house will almost certainly be declared a city landmark, which will give it some protection. The owners have their own ideas for what they want to see happen to it, but whatever happens, we're hopeful it will not be demolished. We'll continue to report in our newsletter at esotouric.substack.com/marilynmonroe
Let them move.....She was there first. Like this damm city i live in Houston, they tear down beautiful places and put up parking lots! They tore down are big beautiful expensive amusement parks AStroworld and left if a grassy field as a Parking lot for Texans games! Hell the 8th wonder of the world the Astrodome is STILL sitting there empty!! They can't get anything done in city hall just like congress playing like children in school!! The 4th largest city and still no amusement park? And they wonder why kids shoot each other all day long and night!! They can only look at thier cell phone for so long....DAMMM..?
Then you never should of bought the house. Sell to someone who would rehab the house. 😮 And leave that area go some where else.you knew who lived there before. Thats your problem.
Make it a land mark unless they put in writing with a large bond required that they're going to relocate the building somewhere that it can be safe yet visible. Including replicating the pool. It's such a beautiful, tasteful home. One can understand frustration with trespassers. Why a family of unlimited means chose a home next to a house so famous is a bit mysterious. They must have known.
I feel very sorry for all MM fans they should make this house part of our history. MM is part of our history let the stay and plesse mark as our histoey. Shame on you people for even thinking that way. Shame Shame on you 8f you don't like it move!!!!!
They made an amazing case for themselves. I am sad about her house going down but this couple did a fantastic job of rationalizing the argument for respect and privacy.
*Moving the house should be acceptable. Make it part of a Marilyn Museum, with theaters, showing her movies, regularly. A restaurant, featuring her favorite foods & drinks, among Marilyn-inspired items. NO look-alike servers! The look-alikes will be for the Marilyn Showroom. Different Marilyns singing in different outfits from different eras. And, of course, Drag Marilyns, cause, why not! Or, a Drag Marilyn Night would be great. A retro clothing shop. Boutique? Just for starters.* 🙂
Pourquoi achete la maison de marylin monroe pour la demolir y devrait pas qui achete une autre avec leurs milliards c est une icone marylin monroe y devrait la preserve sa maison. Pour los angeles et le monde entier qui viendrait lui rendre hommage a cette stars mondiale 😮😮😮
It would be cultural vandalism to allow the demolition of that house. It must be preserved, being the only home Marilyn bought herself and the place where she died. There are many other homes for billionaires to buy.
O please, to much hate in our world. She was a icon like Elvis. They seem to be the two most famous people in our world. Why would you destroy her home.
What a ridiculous argument. They knew where they were living when they purchased and moved there. They knew whose home they were purchasing,. They totally expected there to be great push back on demolishing the house of one of the worlds largest Icons. Her legacy is still alive and will be for a very long time to come, long after they have gone. As if by demolishing the home that this will cease the tourist passing by, it wont. Look at Cielo Drive. Too many of the homes of Icons have been demolished in LA, they can't let this happen to this one.
The rich can be so careless. It would be a real shame and just bad juju for that young family. They may be within their rights to demolish the home, but it's so rotten to do it period. Do they have that hideous monster mansion that took over the lane?
Selfish brats. Can’t stand the heat - get away! Marylin Monroe’s home has to become an official national landmark with full public access and proper protection, just like other historical museums and places of significance. I’m sure it would generate more than enough income for its adequate maintenance.
Money to take pictures? You mean like a museum? Maybe make it one. Move it?! How would it be the same place? Willing to pay for all that, but not to leave the area themselves.
so many homes they could buy, but so entitled to want a charming, historic one only to destroy it! reminds me of the beautiful Polanski/Tate property destroyed and replaced with a hideous McMansion that has no soul
The city is seeking to landmark the house, and the owners have filed a petition for writ of mandate to stop the process and resume demolition. Our reporting that explains the situation is at esotouric.substack.com/marilynmonroe
Put up or shut up. Many people and the historical scociety want to perserve the house but the house is not any great architecture gem and Marilyn Monroe only lived in the house for about 6 months. The house is not a landmark by any means.
She was found dead there and suffered melancholia. Not a tranquil place, with hideous heavy roof tiles and sinister association. I agree do not move it, remove it and archive images of anguish and rancour.
The house should be completely destroyed and a new home built in its place! Monroe has been dead and buried for over 60 years. Stop living in the past, people! Moved on.
Not buried exactly! Her house represents the worst excesses of stardom. Were it not for the famous occupier, it would be deemed unremarkable and demolished. Fans can make a more meaningful gesture, by visiting her crypt.
@@manuelaferreira8403 It is a modest, tasteful and charming home that many people would enjoy the opportunity to live in, quite apart from the historical significance (architect Harbin Hunter also built early homes in the Hollywoodland subdivision) and famous 1962 resident.
Interesting you mention Graceland, as their operator (Authentic Brands) has been working with the owners trying to get the house moved away from its historic site. Not clear what role, if any, they may be playing with the current legal strategy.

That's because they love Marilyn.
This house must be a museum not a pv property wtfff!?!??
If you are going to buy a house in an area of notable homes with the intention of demolishing it you need to do your due diligence. First you need to look up the architect, the firm they worked for and if possible the builder. Then you need to find out if any of the buildings that architect designed have a historic, heritage or culture designation. While Monroe did live there, Harbin Hunter the architect who designed the house has had another building he built receive a designation. He is an architect of note. So regardless of who lived there, the house was built by an architect whose work has been recognized and designated as deserving protection. Before buying this house to tear down, Milstein should have approached the city's building department and gotten approval before buying the house. Being honest with the head of the building department and saying you know this house was built by an architect who has had another property they built get a protective designation, but that this house hasn't been maintained and is in rough shape and you want to know before you buy it if it can be demolished and the land annexed onto your house nextdoor. They will probably say, let me look into it. Also checking with city council and telling neighbors around both properties what you want to do. Yes this is opening a can of worms. But it's better to open it before you buy the house. If the Milsteins real estate agent knew they intended to demolish, they house, they should have given them advice to sort it out before buying. I wonder if Milstein was hoping to quietly have the house demolished without Monroe or mission style architecture fans finding out. If her house is the big black house behind Monroe's it looks like a large pole barn, possibly an indoor equestrian barn. If the 2 houses, the 1 designed by Hunter might be in worse shape now, but it is more interesting, beautiful and historic. Monroe worked hard to make the money to buy that house when most women didn't or couldn't afford to buy their own property. It's sad that history and distinct houses will be lost for people who want McMansions. When Milstein first built a huge house on her lot, she must have realized having a yard would be a problem. Was she always planning on doing this? If so being up front might have saved time and effort.
I can't stand this couple
National Monument
100%
Ohhhh poor wealthy family must be hard for them….
Very well done by the Los Angeles City Council and the entire country, Marilyn Monroe's house should be respected because it is a living historical monument, of what has been one of the biggest stars in the world, followed by the entire world. Marilyn's house is untouchable and that's how it has to be, not everything in this life is worth money, much less destroying the history and culture of a country.
so whats the next step??? i am scared. is so sad this situation. that house is a history place. period
The house will almost certainly be declared a city landmark, which will give it some protection. The owners have their own ideas for what they want to see happen to it, but whatever happens, we're hopeful it will not be demolished. We'll continue to report in our newsletter at esotouric.substack.com/marilynmonroe
Absolutely.
@@esotouric Thanks for this, keep fighting the good fight 💪
Leave the house alone.....it is a Historic Landmark! Designate it as a Historic Landmark!
Let them move.....She was there first. Like this damm city i live in Houston, they tear down beautiful places and put up parking lots! They tore down are big beautiful expensive amusement parks AStroworld and left if a grassy field as a
Parking lot for Texans games! Hell the 8th wonder of the world the Astrodome is STILL sitting there empty!! They can't get anything done in city hall just like congress playing like children in school!! The 4th largest city and still no amusement park? And they wonder why kids shoot each other all day long and night!! They can only look at thier cell phone for so long....DAMMM..?
Relocate it? lol
People want to see it in the neighborhood Marilyn chose,....not some other location.
Then you never should of bought the house. Sell to someone who would rehab the house. 😮
And leave that area go some where else.you knew who lived there before.
Thats your problem.
They have enough money to move! 😡
Make it a land mark unless they put in writing with a large bond required that they're going to relocate the building somewhere that it can be safe yet visible. Including replicating the pool. It's such a beautiful, tasteful home. One can understand frustration with trespassers. Why a family of unlimited means chose a home next to a house so famous is a bit mysterious. They must have known.
They need to be historic!!!!
I feel very sorry for all MM fans they should make this house part of our history. MM is part of our history let the stay and plesse mark as our histoey. Shame on you people for even thinking that way. Shame Shame on you 8f you don't like it move!!!!!
She will get a lot of hate mail hope they can save Marilyn home
I hope she gets more than HATE MAIL!
If they're really willing to pay to have it moved so that people can come see it that might be great.
It would’ve been better if Tommy Wiseau bought the house
They made an amazing case for themselves. I am sad about her house going down but this couple did a fantastic job of rationalizing the argument for respect and privacy.
*Moving the house should be acceptable. Make it part of a Marilyn Museum, with theaters, showing her movies, regularly. A restaurant, featuring her favorite foods & drinks, among Marilyn-inspired items. NO look-alike servers! The look-alikes will be for the Marilyn Showroom. Different Marilyns singing in different outfits from different eras. And, of course, Drag Marilyns, cause, why not! Or, a Drag Marilyn Night would be great. A retro clothing shop. Boutique? Just for starters.* 🙂
No .
Pourquoi achete la maison de marylin monroe pour la demolir y devrait pas qui achete une autre avec leurs milliards c est une icone marylin monroe y devrait la preserve sa maison. Pour los angeles et le monde entier qui viendrait lui rendre hommage a cette stars mondiale 😮😮😮
Awww the poor rich people
Why don't you sell?
Latest is she has filled in the swimming pool!
What is your source for this?
@@esotouric I've got a photo of this...just go over there....they filled the pool in...
It would be cultural vandalism to allow the demolition of that house. It must be preserved, being the only home Marilyn bought herself and the place where she died. There are many other homes for billionaires to buy.
O please, to much hate in our world. She was a icon like Elvis. They seem to be the two most famous people in our world. Why would you destroy her home.
What a ridiculous argument. They knew where they were living when they purchased and moved there. They knew whose home they were purchasing,. They totally expected there to be great push back on demolishing the house of one of the worlds largest Icons. Her legacy is still alive and will be for a very long time to come, long after they have gone. As if by demolishing the home that this will cease the tourist passing by, it wont. Look at Cielo Drive. Too many of the homes of Icons have been demolished in LA, they can't let this happen to this one.
Then move...ms miltstein
exactly, you moved into that by your choice..
The rich can be so careless. It would be a real shame and just bad juju for that young family. They may be within their rights to demolish the home, but it's so rotten to do it period. Do they have that hideous monster mansion that took over the lane?
Maybe Granny and Jed Clampitt could buy it. It would make for some good episodes of Neighborhood Wars.
Selfish brats. Can’t stand the heat - get away! Marylin Monroe’s home has to become an official national landmark with full public access and proper protection, just like other historical museums and places of significance. I’m sure it would generate more than enough income for its adequate maintenance.
Money to take pictures? You mean like a museum? Maybe make it one.
Move it?! How would it be the same place?
Willing to pay for all that, but not to leave the area themselves.
They got drones like they are all over America now video taping and taking pictures of everything.
I like hearing from them and I like the idea of relocating the house.
so many homes they could buy, but so entitled to want a charming, historic one only to destroy it!
reminds me of the beautiful Polanski/Tate property destroyed and replaced with a hideous McMansion that has no soul
That house was owned by Doris Days son, And that house had to be demolished because people were murdered there.
I hate Cancel Culture
Save this home and property its historical . Save it now
Whinny billionaires😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
gO TO ANOTHER NEIGHBOR HOOD DUMIE BRIANAH
Make it into an Airbnb
why dont they just move
Last I read being torn down?
The city is seeking to landmark the house, and the owners have filed a petition for writ of mandate to stop the process and resume demolition. Our reporting that explains the situation is at esotouric.substack.com/marilynmonroe
Marilyn was the icon, not the house. I hope they're allowed to move it, that would be a solution for everyone.
Unlike a house made of wood, it is very difficult if not impossible to move a poured concrete house.
That is not a solution.
Ah, trouble in Brentwood!
Não vao poder demolir, já virou patrimônio do cool🎉
I agree with the neighbors
Move the house, restore it then share it
Put up or shut up. Many people and the historical scociety want to perserve the house but the house is not any great architecture gem and Marilyn Monroe only lived in the house for about 6 months. The house is not a landmark by any means.
You have always brought shame to your mother and your father never really liked you.
@@BattleBecause coming from a person who doesn't even know me but now I know who you are.
Nono
Old movie star has been dead 60 years. Demolish the structure and move on. Worshipping celebrities is creepy.
Why is that ?
She was found dead there and suffered melancholia. Not a tranquil place, with hideous heavy roof tiles and sinister association. I agree do not move it, remove it and archive images of anguish and rancour.
The house should be completely destroyed and a new home built in its place! Monroe has been dead and buried for over 60 years. Stop living in the past, people! Moved on.
These property owners say they want to demolish the house for nothing, just bigger grounds for their house next door.
@@esotouric That's fine as well.
@@salvation4all313LOSER
Not buried exactly! Her house represents the worst excesses of stardom. Were it not for the famous occupier, it would be deemed unremarkable and demolished. Fans can make a more meaningful gesture, by visiting her crypt.
@@manuelaferreira8403 It is a modest, tasteful and charming home that many people would enjoy the opportunity to live in, quite apart from the historical significance (architect Harbin Hunter also built early homes in the Hollywoodland subdivision) and famous 1962 resident.
This is an absolute disgrace!.What are they going to do next?apply to demolish Graceland?.Should be thrown out of court straight away!.
Interesting you mention Graceland, as their operator (Authentic Brands) has been working with the owners trying to get the house moved away from its historic site. Not clear what role, if any, they may be playing with the current legal strategy.
Freaking cry babies! I might have to try and buy that house for God sake! Dont dare tear that down.
