The owners of the property filed for demolition permits and, in September 2023, the LA Department of Building and Safety gave the go-ahead for a 'plan check,' which would begin the destruction process, according to The New York Post.
The bijou four-bedroom home was bought in July 2023 by a mysterious entity known as Glory of the Snow Trust for just over $8.3 million (£6.5m), having previously been owned by Glory of the Snow LLC, who bought it for a little under $7.2 million (£5.7m) in 2017.
Luckily for movie fans, the plans were stopped in their tracks and in January 2024, the Los Angeles Cultural Heritage Commission voted unanimously to declare the property a historic cultural monument.
