The home’s owners filed a lawsuit against the city of Los Angeles to prevent it from being declared a historic and cultural monument so they can demolish it

In the lawsuit, the current owners, Brinah Milstein and her husband, Roy Bank, are suing the city, alleging “illegal and unconstitutional conduct and abuse of power by the City of Los Angeles,” regarding the last home where Monroe lived until 1962, when she died at 36.

After that, more steps were taken to declare the property historic. In January, the Los Angeles Cultural Heritage Commission voted unanimously to declare the property a historic cultural monument, which delayed the demolition for 180 days to allow the Commission to pursue other avenues for preservation, CBS News reports.

The full City Council is expected to vote on the nomination of the property for historical-cultural monument status by mid-June, according to the Los Angeles Conservancy.

I am sure money will win, but it gives me feels.
