PICTURED: Chris Pratt and wife Katherine Schwarzenegger’s shock demolition site seen for first time after they sparked OUTRAGE by flattening historic 1950 LA home to build sprawling farmhouse style mansion

The demolished site of Chris Pratt and his wife Katherine Schwarzenegger’s historic 1950s Los Angeles home, which they plan to replace with a 15,000-square-foot ranch-style mansion, has been seen for the first time.

Images of the construction zone left no trace of the Zimmerman House, designed by Los Angeles-based modernist architect Craig Ellwood, standing.

A large yellow crane with a wrecking ball used to dismantle the property the couple bought last year for $12.5 million was seen, and a white pickup truck was seen parked on the now vacant lot.

Over the weekend, the couple sparked outrage after it was revealed they had demolished the historic mid-century modern home to build a ostentatious mansion.

The move has angered architecture enthusiasts who claim the house was in good condition with its original features intact.

It featured floor-to-ceiling windows, a central brick fireplace and wooden built-ins and was previously featured in Progressive Architecture magazine.

The historic property was previously owned by Hilda Rolfe, who was married to Sam Rolfe, the co-creator of the series The Man from Uncle, before she died in 2022.

Images from December 2022 show the house in good condition, with the original aspects of the property intact, including mid-century furnishings, large windows and wooden floors.

However, the Marvel actor and his wife cleared out the one-story home to make room for a ranch-style mansion.

Architectural Digest has claimed that architect Ken Ungar will design the property for the couple.

Located across the street from Katherine’s mother Maria Shriver, the home will include a three-car garage and a secondary unit near the pool.

The Los Angeles Conservancy, which works to protect and preserve historic buildings, warned in January about the demolition of the 1950s building.

Outrage erupted over the weekend after news emerged that the couple had demolished the historic mid-century modern home to build a 15,000-square-foot ranch-style mansion.

It said it looked ‘very intact and a remarkable example of modernist design from this period’.

Although SurveyLA identified the house as potentially historic, no conservation measures were ultimately applied.

The Eichler Network denounced the decision to demolish the house.

“While architectural houses are marketed as high-end, collectible art, others are being demolished to build new ones,” said writer Adriene Biondo.

The historic property was previously owned by Hilda Rolfe, who was married to Sam Rolfe, the co-creator of the series The Man from Uncle, before she died in 2022.

The house was in good condition and the original aspects of the property were still intact, including mid-century furnishings, large windows and wooden floors

‘Perhaps a historic-cultural monument designation could have saved the Zimmerman House, or given the necessary time to postpone its demolition. Tragically, the call for preservation fell on deaf ears.”

Social media users are angry at Pratt and his wife for demolishing the historic property in favor of a mansion.

“They couldn’t build their SHEIN McMansion somewhere else?” someone asked.

“Further proof that money can’t buy good taste,” said another.
