Marilyn MonroeThe LA residence in the Los Angeles area will not be listed for sale… despite the residence being named a Historic-Cultural Monument, which nullifies the current owners’ plans to demo the apartment.
Sources close to the owners tell TMZ… Brinah Milstein It is Roy Financial Institution has no plans to promote the Brentwood residence — where the Hollywood legend died of a barbiturate overdose in August 1962.
We’re told the couple will continue to fight this week’s unanimous Los Angeles City Council vote to designate Marilyn’s former home as a culturally significant landmark — a label that protects it from being demolished.
We’re told Brinah and Roy feel violated by the decision and don’t want to be pressured into moving forward… especially since the property was supposed to be an expansion of the family home, which is right next door.
Additionally, we’re told the home — which the couple purchased for $8.35 million last year — is in a state of complete disrepair, which is why they don’t live there.
Our sources say there are major spots on the roof causing leaks inside the house, but Brinah and Roy have no plans to fix any of that right now…as the new assignment makes it too complicated to do anything in the house.
Basically, if they can’t demolish the house, the property is ineffective for them — which is why they’re pursuing a lawsuit to block the historic designation.
We’re told the couple has faced threats in their lawsuit, and that they’ve always had to make it clear to their followers that the home is not a public place… and possibly never will be.
The Marilyn Remembered Fan Membership definitely feels different, as a spokesperson told TMZ … the membership certainly helps with the designation, as Marilyn’s influence on the film industry is worth celebrating.
Their bottom line is… defending the house is defending Marilyn’s legacy, so they’re not backing down – but neither are the owners.
