Ray Bradbury lived in his 1937 Cheviot Hills home for more than 50 years. After the author of "Fahrenheit 451" died in 2012, the house was readied for sale ...

The home, which was purchased in June for $1.765 million, is being demolished. A permit for demolition was issued Dec. 30, Curbed LA reports, and a fan who visited the house over the weekend found it in the process of being torn down ...

I remember my first trip to Hollywood in 2008, I drove by to see Jimmy Stewart’s house only to find it had been torn down & was in the process of being replaced by a new McMansion. It was sad really. I wish I could’ve picked up a brick or something, but I was too shocked to think of that at the time.

I agree. I would have had the entire wall professionally removed and preserved. If he had any patience he could wait 20 or 30 years and then he would make bank. Harrison died in 2001.

Here's the Google Street View. I just scanned Cheviot Hills, but the house number was a good clue!
