At the time Your Mama heard from two separate sources that Mister Morton planned to tear the house down and replace it with something larger and more modern but the ever-clever kids at Curbed have subsequently reported that the property's provenance—it was not only owned by Elvis Presley but originally designed by too-littled lauded master architect Rex Lotery—and a recently adopted preservation ordinance in Bev Hills may in fact prevent Mister Morton from tearing the existing residence down.
Your Mama recognizes that none of this to raze or not to raze bizness will matter much to most folks in places like Peoria and Timbuktu but we've come to understand from our more architecturally inclined confreres that his has become an eminently watchable real estate soap opera with dedicated architecture preservationists in Los Angeles and beyond.
