The Los Angeles City Council has unanimously declared the home where Marilyn Monroe lived and died as a cultural landmark, ending a monthslong battle to preserve her mark on Los Angeles. The Brentwood residence, built in 1929, was home to Monroe in 1962, the year she briefly lived and died. The Los Angeles City Council voted to designate Monroe’s former Spanish Colonial house a historic cultural monument, saving it from demolition by its latest owners.
The property, located at 12305 Fifth Helena Drive in Brentwood, features adobe walls, wood-beamed ceilings, and a notable feature of a towering statue of the silver screen icon. Adrian Scott Fine from the Los Angeles Conservancy supported Monroe’s home being made a city landmark. However, one strong statement of support was that the property’s current owners had aimed to raze the Spanish-style house.
The fight to save Marilyn Monroe’s Brentwood home is heating up, and the property is now one step closer to landmark designation. The Los Angeles City Council unanimously approved the designation, marking a significant milestone in the preservation of the iconic Hollywood icon’s legacy.
