Los Angeles Weighs Monument Status for the ‘Brady Bunch’ House

Designation would codify its pop‑culture significance by requiring city review of major exterior changes.

Overview

  • City Planning officials have recommended review of an application to name the Studio City residence a historic‑cultural monument.
  • Members of the Cultural Heritage Commission are expected to visit the site in the coming weeks before a recommendation and a City Council vote in the months ahead.
  • If approved, proposals for major exterior alterations or demolition would undergo formal city review, which preservationists say would make removal difficult though not impossible.
  • The house served only as the show’s exterior from 1969 to 1974, with HGTV’s 2019 project recreating the TV interiors with the original Brady child actors.
  • Tina Trahan purchased the property for $3.2 million after the renovation, and limited private tours run by Alison Martino raise funds for Los Angeles charities.
