The Los Angeles City Council unanimously voted on Wednesday to preserve Marilyn Monroe’s Brentwood home, where the star lived and died, as a Historic-Cultural Monument, saving it from demolition. The vote ends a nearly year-long saga and effort to save the home from destruction. Last summer, the city’s Department of Building and Safety issued a demolition permit for the home. The city council then unanimously approved Councilwoman Traci Park’s emergency motion to block demolition and begin the process of designating the house as a historic building, CNN previously reported. Park represents the district where the house is located. This week’s preservation vote was the final step in the process for designation, the city’s planning department told CNN. The home’s owners sued the city over the matter in May, claiming “abuse of power.” A motion for a preliminary injunction to stop the city council’s vote to preserve the home was denied by a judge earlier this month, but the case remains ongoing and should be set for trial later this fall, according to Peter C. Sheridan of Glaser Weil Fink Howard Jordan & Shapiro LLP, an attorney representing the owners. During a speech in front of the council before the vote Wednesday, Park urged her colleagues to preserve the LA landmark. She referred to the home, like Monroe, as “iconic.” “There is likely no woman in history or culture who captures the imagination of the public the way Marilyn Monroe did. Even all these years later, her story still resonates and inspires many of us today,” she said. “To lose this piece of history, the only home Marilyn Monroe ever owned, would be a devastating blow for historic preservation, and for a city where less than 3% of historic designations are associated with women’s heritage.”
