Marilyn Monroe is keeping her foot on the girls’ NECKS nearly 62 years after her death! Her fans recently cemented her American legacy in another significant way. According to the Associated Press, one of Marilyn Monroe’s former Los Angeles homes has been declared a historic monument.

Details On The Historic Designation

The Los Angeles home where Monroe briefly lived has been declared a historic cultural monument. For context, Marilyn bought the house for $75,000 in 1962. Unfortunately, she also died there just months later, on Aug. 4, from an apparent sedative overdose. Her body was reportedly discovered the next day.

The Los Angeles City Council voted on Wednesday (June 26) to declare the home where Monroe briefly lived and died a historic designation. The now historic monument is located in the tony Brentwood neighborhood.

Ahead of the vote, the area’s council rep, Traci Park, said:

“There’s no other person or place in the city of Los Angeles as iconic as Marilyn Monroe and her Brentwood home,” Park said.

According to the Los Angeles Times, this designation follows a lengthy battle over whether the home should be demolished.

More About Who Wanted To Demolish Marilyn Monroe’s Former Los Angeles Home

Calls to demolish the home were coming from its current owners, Brinah Milstein and Roy Bank, who also live next door.

They had plans to expand their estate and argued that it was no longer historic due to changes over the years. Additionally, they claimed the tourist traffic has made it a nuisance.

Brinah and Roy bought the house for $8.35 million. However, after they obtained a demolition permit, they encountered heavy opposition and ultimately lost the battle.

Their lawyer, Peter C. Sheridan, called the process leading to the historic designation “biased, unconstitutional, and rigged” in a statement to AP. The attorney also said the city had “granted dozens of permits to over 14 different prior owners to change the home through numerous remodels, resulting in there being nothing left reflecting Ms. Monroe’s brief time there 60 years ago.”

Nonetheless, the council passed the unanimous vote and squashed the owner’s goals of expansion!
