A fire Monday heavily damaged a 6,000-square-foot mansion that once was the home of the late Los Angeles Times Publisher Otis Chandler.
The fire, reported shortly before 6 p.m., was still active more than four hours later.
No one was in the home, and there were no injuries. Jim Anderson, San Marino fire marshal, said the home may be a total loss. He said arson investigators were called to the scene in the 1000 block of Oak Grove Place, but he said he doubted that foul play was involved.
Members of the Chandler family lived at the address as early as the 1940s and remained there for several decades.
