Cielo Drive Over the Years

The original house looked so pretty and picturesque in it’s surroundings - the farmhouse/cottage style gave it a cosy and peaceful quality despite its sad history, what on earth were they thinking when they built that fugly monstrosity on there ? - it looks like something I built with Lego aged 9, it sticks out like a sore thumb and ruins the view

The new mansion is a monstrosity!

This song by the Mamas and the Papas, California Dreaming, is so very appropriate for the era of the late 1960s May we all who deserve it rest in peace, someday.👍🙌🤘💯🌹🍷

Wonderful video of my neighborhood and my own house as well. The music was a great touch as well...It has changed up here in the past 25 years I have been here from building my home to present day. Thanks again for taking the time to assemble the collage of images of what once was Sharon's home. David O. #TheOmanHouse

Looks like a gaudy Mosque. Plus extremely top heavy for the piece of property. Just goes to show you that old saying continues to run true “Money can’t buy taste”. But then again there’s a lot of this in L.A. especially the Hills.

Thank you for this video. It's fascinating to see how it's changed over time. When the original home was built, that long, winding driveway that branches off Cielo and snakes back up the mountain led to just the one house at the end of the drive - 10050 Cielo. Over the years, owners of 10050 sold off parts of the hillside where about 7 houses now stand. Imagine how isolated 10050 felt before those homes were built...

60s baby i was born in the 70s....fascinated by the 60s.....the music is incredible

The new mansion looks like a college campus building in California.

I lived down the street at 10160 when I was in high school. It's not in the video but was in the film Once Upon A Time in Hollywood.

The first original house and property had a special charm to it that the new giant mansion could never have. I wish they had just left the original house and property alone but Sharon Tate had not really lived there very long and and only lived there for about 6 months but she was out of the country overseas making a movie for about 2 or 3 months so she spent very little time at Cielo Dr.

It’s tacky.. Looks like a Saudi millionaire built that. The farmhouse, with the natural foliage was Classic. But, the bad vibe was always a problem.

I once saw the original place in person. It was perfectly lovely and suited the landscape like a glove. This mess that has replaced it is typical of many of the high-end Los Angeles areas. Too much money and absolutely no taste. After the tragedy that occurred up there, I can understand why the old place had to go, but to replace it with this pretentious eyesore is an insult to the land it sits on. It's a reflection of a city in decline...

McMansion takeover

Love ...Love...Love this video Jeff! so many wonderful and historic photos you have taken of Cielo Drive over the years. So happy you are my friend.

They've had trouble selling it for years. Keep bringing down the price and removing and putting back on the market.

The original house was first owned by French actress Michele Morgan. It had so much more character and looked great nestled on the hill above Benedict Canyon. The monstrosity in its place is too big and doesn't belong in this spot

monstrous mishmash of a hideous building. Heartbreaking.

I saw the Michelle Morgan/Rudy Altobelli house in the 1980s. It was in great shape and well tended. There is a similar house to the original “Tate” house down in the canyon, and you can see how beautiful the original house was. It really was a historical loss that Sharon’s beautiful home was replaced by such a vulgar monstrosity. I can’t believe it was even allowed. I think it’s been up for sale for the past few years, but who would want it? It’s a tasteless nightmare. It should be torn down and replaced with a replica of the original home.

I almost could have at least tolerated the new place if it looked like the first few photos you have, but then they just kept going to make it a monstrosity. Interestingly, they took it off market a week or so ago. Does anyone know if they disposed of the original house covertly, like they recently did with the Moscow, Idaho house?

Old house ,new house IDK, but I sure get sad w/ the music & the current state of a once great place.
