'mystery' columns.

I was thumbing through a copy of Paul Bahn's 'The Archaeology of Hollywood' and noticed this sentence at the end of a paragraph on Marion Davies Beach House (shown above)
"Some of the original eighteen Ionic columns survive in front of 9370 Santa Monica Boulevard in Beverly Hills." (on page 101)
I've never heard this before. Is it true!?!
I couldn't find 9370, but at the end of that block of Santa Monica Blvd. there is a shop named Vertigo that has four Ionic columns. (they face Canon Drive)
Do you suppose they could be from Ms. Davies' famed beach house?

I tried to find more information on the beach house demolition but i haven't had much luck.
