CHRIS PRATT DRAWS IRE FOR RAZING HISTORIC 1950 LA HOME FOR SPRAWLING MANSION

Actor and wife Katherine Schwarzenegger dismantle 1950 Zimmerman house designed
by architect Craig Ellwood

Chris Pratt has drawn ire from architecture aficionados after news broke that
the actor and his wife, Katherine Schwarzenegger, had razed a historic,
mid-century modern home to make way for a sprawling 15,000-sq-ft mansion.

Last year, the couple purchased the 1950 Zimmerman house, designed by the
architect Craig Ellwood, in Los Angeles’s Brentwood neighborhood for $12.5m. The
residence, with landscaping by Garrett Eckbo – who has been described as the
pioneer of modern landscaping – had previously been featured in Progressive
Architecture magazine.

It was most recently home to the late Hilda Rolfe, the widow of Sam Rolfe,
co-creator of the series The Man from Uncle. Video of the property from December
2022 shows a light-filled home that appears to have been well-preserved, with
large windows, wood floors and mid-century furniture.

The single-story home and its grounds have since been cleared and in its place
will be a massive home in the modern farmhouse style that has come to dominate
US suburbs.

Architect Ken Ungar, whose portfolio largely features high-end modern
farmhouse-style residences, will design a home for the couple, Architectural
Digest reported. The property, which is just across the street from
Schwarzenegger’s mother, Maria Shriver, will also feature a three-car garage and
a secondary unit near the pool.

The Los Angeles Conservancy, a non-profit that seeks to save and protect
historic buildings, warned of the impending demolition in January and said that
the residence appeared “to be highly intact and a noteworthy example of
modernist design from this era”.

The city’s SurveyLA program had identified the property as potentially historic,
but no protections were afforded, the conservancy wrote on Instagram.

The Eichler Network, which covers mid-century homes in California, lamented the
destruction.

“At the same time as architectural homes are being marketed as high-end,
collectible art, others are being torn down to build new,” the writer Adriene
Biondo said. “Perhaps a historic-cultural monument designation could have saved
the Zimmerman house, or allowed the necessary time to delay demolition.
Tragically, calls for preservation fell on deaf ears.”
