If it was historical, someone could have landmarked it in the last 70 years.
It’s probably not historical in any way except for the owner.
It may very well not be. But a temporary stay of demolition pending a look isn’t asinine
There was not a single thing in that article which makes that house special. The only claim to fame seems to be “long dead actress owned it for a couple years”.
It’s all talking about how she was a famous icon. This is gross celebrity worship/fetishism.
There’s nothing in the article, because you, me, the author and the council don’t yet know whether there is anything of historical value in the building. That’s why they are proposing to take a look before it’s knocked down.
Bad faith NIMBY action to try and landmark a mediocre house at the last minute.
If it has architectural merit, why did it take 60 years for anyone to notice?
Who said anything about architectural merit. Yes, she was an iconic actress, married to De Magio and Arthur Miller and she was also extraordinarily well connected. I know nothing about the property’s architectural or historical importance. But having a look before bulldozing isn’t outrageous.
I doubt the people who are lobbying are neighbours, so NIMBY isn’t really applicable
