Marilyn Monroe's former Brentwood home to be designated as cultural landmark by LA City Council

The Los Angeles City Council is expected to designate the former home of Marilyn Monroe as a historic cultural monument.The Los Angeles City Council Wednesday is expected to designate the former home of Marilyn Monroe, located on 12305 5th Helena Drive, as a historic cultural monument.

Los Angeles City Councilwoman Traci Park, who represents the 11th District, which encompasses the location of the property, had introduced a motion calling for the designation and action to pause the issuance of demolition permits. The application to designate the home as a historic- cultural monument has been working its way through the city process, receiving approval in January from the Cultural Heritage Commission and later from the council's Planning and Land Use Management Committee.

The family sued the city and sought an injunctive relief, however, on June 4 a judge tentatively denied their attempt. According to the Milstein-Bank court papers, the couple will suffer irreparable harm without a preliminary injunction. The petition sought a court order blocking the monument designation and allowing the plaintiffs to move forward with their planned razing so they can demolish the Monroe structure to expand their current home, which is adjacent to the property.
