Marilyn Monroe’s home will be spared the wrecking ball after the Los Angeles City Council voted 12-0 Friday to begin the process of declaring the property a historic and cultural monument.
If that process succeeds, the home would subsequently be protected from demolition. The L.A. Board of Building and Safety Commissioners, who had approved the demolition on Thursday, revoked the permit following the council’s vote, according to Reuters.
On Wednesday, she learned that the home had been acquired by a new owner, the Glory of the Snow Trust, and that demolition was planned for the structure, Councilwoman Park explained at a press conference. The since-aborted approval of the demolition occurred before Councilwoman Park could launch the process to designate the home as a protected cultural site. At her press conference, she said that concern regarding the demolition had come in to her office from around the world.
Other local officials excoriated the motives of the developers; their plans for the site after a potential demolition have not yet been publicly disclosed.
