Marilyn Monroe's Los Angeles Home Saved from Demolition, Historic Status Under Review

  • Marilyn Monroe purchased the Spanish-style home in Brentwood in 1962 after divorcing Arthur Miller.
  • The home was facing demolition in 2023 but the L.A. City Council voted to suspend the demolition permit.
  • The City Council wants to designate the home as a historic site due to its cultural significance.
  • Monroe lived in the home for only six months before she died there in August 1962 at age 36.
  • The Office of Historic Resources will evaluate whether to grant the 1929 home historic status and protection from demolition.
