LOS ANGELES—The former home of Marilyn Monroe is officially a Los Angeles historic cultural monument June 27, as city officials confirmed the designation after previously delaying the vote to address concerns from the property owners and neighborhood residents.

In a 12–0 vote, council members approved a motion—introduced by Councilwoman Traci Park, who represents the 11th District, which includes Monroe’s former home at 12305 West Fifth Helena Drive—to preserve the home following an attempt by the property owners to demolish it last year.
