• Marilyn Monroe's home in Brentwood, California, was ruled a landmark by the LA City Council.
• The current owners sued the city for the right to demolish it to expand their home next door.

In 1962, Marilyn Monroe, one of the most iconic figures in American culture, was found dead inside her home in Brentwood, a neighborhood in Los Angeles. She was 36.

Sixty-two years later, the Los Angeles City Council ruled that her former home should be declared a historical cultural monument, as Variety reported.

The decision came after a May 2024 lawsuit from the current owners, Brinah Milstein and Roy Bank, who sued the City of Los Angeles to tear down the home, alleging "illegal and unconstitutional conduct and abuse of power by the city." The Los Angeles Times reported the couple bought the home in July 2023 for $8.35 million.

However, after this latest decision, Monroe's home will remain standing.

Here's everything you need to know about the home, its past, and what will happen now.
