Chris Pratt and his wife Katherine Schwarzenegger are getting BASHED for buying and demolishing a “potentially historic” home in Los Angeles!
According to Robb Report earlier this month, the couple bought the Zimmerman House in the Brentwood neighborhood of El Lay off market for $12.5 million in January 2023. Pretty quickly, they went straight into demoing the midcentury building — and we don’t mean minor renovations. They knocked the whole thing down to start fresh!
This has some people fed up considering the place was originally designed by the famous architect Craig Ellwood after being commissioned by Martin and Eva Zimmerman in 1949 (hence the nickname). The place had been photographed for Progressive Architecture magazine, so it’s not like it was some random property that just happened to be a relic from an older era. It had history — history Chris and Katherine just didn’t care about, evidently.

One reason the home had been kept intact for so long is probably because it was kept in the same family for decades! The previous owners were Sam Rolfe (the co-creator of hit TV shows like The Man From U.N.C.L.E. and Have Gun — Will Travel) and his wife Hilda, who remained in the home for 30 years after his death in 1993. She recently passed — and thus entered the now-embattled stars!
Apparently, the husband and wife were drawn to the location because it is close to Katherine’s mother, Maria Shriver. It’s literally steps away! But they had a whole new vision for the property, reportedly hiring LA architect Ken Ungar to come rebuild the place. He’s known for modern farmhouse-style mansions — and that appears to be what will be going up on the spot.
