LOS ANGELES—A Los Angeles city commission has voted to preserve the former Brentwood home of Marilyn Monroe and is working Jan. 19 to have it designated a historic cultural monument after it was almost demolished last year at the request of the property owner.
The five-member Cultural Heritage Commission voted unanimously Thursday to prevent demolition efforts of the iconic movie star’s final home in the 12000 block of Fifth Helena Drive. The commissioners each made short remarks on the home’s cultural significance.
