Curbed Inside
The Richard Neutra-designed Kronish House is just about two weeks out from demolition, according to Ronald Richards, who handles legal affairs for the limited liability company that owns the house. We found out a couple weeks ago that the owners had decided to bring the Kronish down; as the LA Conservancy has rallied to save it , the Beverly Hills City Council will consider stepping in tonight. We visited the property yesterday to find out just what's at stake--the house is rundown and has some seriously insensitive additions. A preservationist tells us it's savable, but Richards says that no one wants to buy it as-is.Soda Partners LLC, made up of members of two Beverly Hills families, bought the Kronish in January for $5.8 million, and Richards says they never had any indication that the house was significant. They bought it for the land value--the house sits on two acres off of Sunset, right next door to Madonna's place--and they've been trying to sell it since April , asking $13.995 million. The house itself is bigger than we'd heard before--it has "Home Depot" additions that brings the original square footage of 6,891 up to 7,900 .
Beverly Hills doesn't really have a preservation policy, so it couldn't stop the house from being altered and it's not really clear if it can stop the demolition now. But preservationists are still pissed at the city for allowing John Lautner's Shusett House to be demolished , and it seems like they've been loud enough now to get some attention. Tonight, the city council will consider asking staff for a Kronish House-protecting "urgency ordinance."
But Richards says the house isn't even full Neutra, more like 40%. Mid-century restorationist Josh Gorrell disagrees, saying it's probably more like 65%. Gorrell has visited the house twice--once as a potential buyer and last weekend with a group that included Neutra's son Dion, which went to document the house. Gorrell helped restore Neutra's Kun House and is working on rebuilding the architect's Von Sternberg House , so he knows his Neutra preservation, but he hasn't seen the original plans.
According to Richards, the house was in the last owner's family for decades--the owner's mother lived there most recently, but didn't use the whole thing. Richards says that when his clients bought the property it had been stripped and was left a mess-- eight dumpsters of trash were hauled out and there was medicine from the 1940s in one of the bathrooms.

The original building plans for Helena's finest luxury hotel only included four stories. "During the excavation they found enough gold to take the building 7 stories and had a lot left over,” says Placer real estate developer Karina Christensen.
As an example, Pasadena won't issue a demolition permit until building plans are approved and the owner is ready to build. In this example, the owner is not ready to build. He just wants to sell the property without the house on it.
And Boehner lacks the kind of iron-fisted control necessary to push a compromise package through the most conservative House since the 1920s. The kind of grand bargain that sends thrills up Washington legs was just never going to happen with a deadline
