The 8,076-square-foot English Tudor-style mansion has been the site of various protests in recent weeks. A month ago, more than 100 protesters gathered outside the city-owned mansion, with marchers calling for the reopening of the economy amid the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic.

This week, the Getty House saw thousands of people gather to protest the death of George Floyd as well as the mayorā€™s response to protests in Los Angeles.
