Marilyn Monroe's Former Home Demolition Blocked by Court Ruling
A federal court judge has dismissed a lawsuit by Roy Bank and Brinah Milstein, who sought to demolish the Los Angeles home where Marilyn Monroe died. The couple purchased the property for over $8 million in 2023 and planned to tear it down for new construction. However, the city designated the home as a 'Historical-Cultural Monument' in 2024, preventing demolition. The couple argued that this designation constituted an 'unconstitutional taking' of their property. Despite the setback, their attorney, J. David Breemer, indicated that they are preparing further legal actions. The home, a 1929 Spanish Bungalow, has become a tourist attraction, and the couple has faced security issues due to its historical significance.
