what stupid ignorant pig chose to have it demolished? that house had huge value. sell it to a film fan. even make it a high-end boutique hotel for "sunset blvd" fans. i'd have paid to stay there. demolishing it was cultural vandalism of american heritage. the house should have been protected and preserved.

You can't get away from those noise/air polluting leaf blowers in LA.

nice docu , but shit piano music

Both sad and shameful that such an iconic building should be torn down to make way for that concrete monstrosity.

You cannot imagine how close this actually is to the East River and the Brooklyn Bridge. This is my dream property!

Must have been haunted,there's a house in Chicago area like that,unoccupied for 30 years

In the 1990s, I lived very nearby on Norton Avenue. Used to drive past that office building every day on my way to work. I had no idea the "Sunset Bl" mansion used to stand there.

Nice architectural details

Sad ending for a beautiful home.

Fascinating look at historical landmark! 🙏🙏

So sad the house is gone. 😢. Great movie. Much respect to the silent film stars who had the courage to make this film. Especially Gloria Swanson!❤

I used to live around the corner and I never knew. 😮😮😮😮

How very sad that this once lovely mansion was destroyed under the wrecking ball. What a colossal waste. And for what, a useless building to take its place. What a waste.

NOISE !!!!!

What a shame these houses can't be preserved some how. Beautiful architecture just ruined.

Loved this show. Part of my youth

Similar in style perhaps but definitely not as grand and large.

So sad it was torn down and for what? Another soulless office building.

Too bad this house was not built in Beverly Hills; it would still be standing today, and worth millions.

Amusing note: Some film fans drive up and down Sunset Boulevard looking for 10086, as mentioned in the motion picture. There is no such address.

What an ugly, gross office building. Its just more proof money doesnt buy you class.

. une pensee bien triste concernant la maison de JAYNE MANSFIELD le PINK PALACE demolit en 2000 de style mediterraneen ...

What a BEAUTIFUL, MAGICAL HOME- of its time, sadly torn down. Maybe it inspired the Preserved Historic Homes. For a CAPITALIST BUSINESS could have gone in a rather derilect plot. Rather sad, to make one’s community without history on the land- sacred, or historically defended.

We had faces!!!!!!!!

My favorite feature about these homes was the double-door entrances. They've probably changed some of the but the double doors are still there.

Why did the original owners only stay there one year?

Ugly house, great movie.

Thank You so much for this mini-documentary about the house and the surrounding properties!!

How is it possible to demolish a beautiful house with character, with a life of its own, for a horrible functional building without any charm?

I grew up a block north of the mansion. No family ever occupied the house. It stood as a fenced off, ghostly relic looked after by a caretaker. When Rebel Without a Cause was filmed there in the 1950s, we could stand outside to watch James Dean, Natalie Wood and the whole movie crew. Before demolishing the house in 1957, the owners let the public wander through to bid on architectural artifacts, so I've wandered all around the house. Also noteworthy, the house at 610 S Irving Blvd (The Getty House) at the north end of the block was purchased to become the Los Angeles Mayor's Residence in 1975 (time stamp 4:12).

What a shame it was knocked down

So the house was only some 30-odd years old when it was demolished. LA has a history of renewal, and there was little interest in a house of that size and location for years before it was demolished. ( If there had been, someone would have bought it from Ms. Getty ). Things can look different through the lens of hindsight. I'm sure it would make a fine house today. But sadly, it's gone.

Love the film "Sunset Boulevard". It's a total tragedy that beautiful house was destroyed. It should have been saved. And to be replaced with just another hideous office building 😝

What a noisy Hellhole lol

Ugly ass.building. Like Getty's Soul.

What a shame a beautiful house demolished for greedy oil.

I have passed by the Harbor building not knowing that this was the original location. so sad

What's the background music please?

Rick people waste so much money on their narcissistic whims. To bad the first mansion was not left up and kept up..it was beautiful

This must be near Hancock park.

Getty should have been incarcerated for tearing down this architectural gem ‼‼‼‼‼‼‼‼‼‼

Windsor Square clearly has an eclectic mixture of architectural styles. I was especially drawn to the houses shown at 4.05 and 4:32. Does anyone have any further information on these two properties, in particular, or on a listing of historic houses in the area? Many thanks!

'Sounds to me that Getty's plan all along was to buy the mansion for its land, demolish it and build his office block on the site. I somehow doubt he ever intended his ex-wife to use the house.

It is sad that this beautiful house was demolished. A house always tells the story not only of thise that lived in, but the story of a whole time

Its a shame that the hard work of several people went to waste, from the idea to the development to the building of the home only to become a derelict wreck.

The piano music on this is stunningly gorgeous . . . I wish I knew what it was . . . Who composed it . . . The name . . . I had to replay the video just to listen to the music!

That mansion didn't have a happy life....

Very interesting video thank you but the sound of the weed wackers and city traffic was a little unnerving. Sunset Boulevard is one of my all-time favorite movies

The house at 4:30 is the official City of Los Angeles Mayors Mansion once used by the former (thank God) Ex-Mayor and corrupt, plus publicly announced he ".....takes it on both ends...." Eric Garcetti

This one makes me sad - these are the bad new days - tourists & plastic dinnerware 😮🤫😉😎
