Folks fighting to save the Acker-Mansion from being torn down

Can't believe Ackerman has been dead eight years already.

Besides being a renown literary agent and publisher, Forrest Ackerman was also an avid collector of science fiction, fantasy, and horror memorabilia. His Los Feliz home acted as a private museum for his collection, but now his neighbors are fighting to keep his last home from being torn down.

The question is, is it still worthwile to try and save it?
The collection is gone, and from what I can tell from documentaries, this isn't even the original Acker-mansion building, right?
If only Forry's legacy had been preserved when it was all still there: then this would make sense.
Now, it's isn't even a shadow of what was once something totally amazing.
