Demolition of the Los Angeles area home where Marilyn Monroe spent her last months has been put on hold by Los Angeles City Council, following a last-minute motion aimed at designating the house a Historic-Cultural Monument.
Councilmember Traci Park, whose district includes Brentwood, where the legendary actress’s former home is located, said the house was sold in July and the new owners recently filed a request to have it demolished.
“At this point, it may be into the thousands,” Park said of the volume of phone calls. “All of our phones in city hall and the field office have been ringing off the hook for the last 48 hours.” It remains unclear who the new homeowners are as the purchase was made under a limited liability company , which then sold the house to a trust in July.
