L.A.’s City Council has voted to temporarily protect the only home late actress Marilyn Monroe ever independently owned, located in Brentwood, and hopes to designate it a historic-cultural monument
After Friday’s meeting, the city sent the trust paperwork stating the city’s intentions to fully revoke the demolition permit. L.A.’s Office of Historic Resources is then going to perform various assessments over the next 75 days to decide if Monroe’s Spanish-style abode should be permanently protected, and eventually designated a historic site.
“... unfortunately, the Department of Building and Safety issued a demolition permit before my team and I could fully intervene and get this issue resolved,” Councilmember Traci Park told the. “This home must be preserved as a crucial piece of Hollywood’s and the city of Los Angeles’ history, culture and legacy.”Monroe purchased the 2,624-square-foot hacienda for $77,500, shortly after parting ways with her ex-husband, playwright Arthur Miller, in February 1962.
