The tipster writes: Ive been driving by [the house] for a while, and its Paul Williams-esque style always caught my eye. At some point, about a year ago, new ficus were planted at the street, and I just assumed someone was going to do a big remodel. I recently noticed some torn drapes through an upstairs window, and my curiosity was piqued ... Clearly various squatters have been in residence, and some of the trash seemed fairly recent. After a little bit of digging, it turns out that the 5,800-square-foot estate, built in 1925 and redesigned by noted Hollywood Regency architect John Elgin Woolf, was once owned by the late stage and screen director Vincente Minnelli, and that the house was fairly recently at the center of a bitter public battle between Vincentes daughter Liza Minnelli and her step-mother Lee Minnelli that resulted in a lawsuit and kept the house in sale limbo for four years.
