It's O-J Simpson's former Brentwood estate.
Simpson moved out last September, but the tourists keep coming.
So the arrival of the demolition crew at 360 North Rockingham Avenue was a welcome site to the neighbors.
It was here that Simpson said he was chipping golf balls the night his ex-wife and her friend were murdered.
The house was bought at an auction after Simpson was unable to keep up with the mortgage. The bank foreclosed.
An investment banker then paid 3-point-95 million for it, intending to tear it down and build a new house on the site.
