"The LA city council voted unanimously on Wednesday to designate the so-called "Brady Bunch" house in the San Fernando Valley as a historic-cultural monument. The vote grants landmark protections to the house on Dilling Avenue that was used for exterior shots of the TV sitcom that ran from 1969 to 1974."
"The landmark status protects the home, built in 1959, from demolition or major renovations - but doesn't prohibit them. If owners ever decide to make big changes, they would be subject to a design review and the Cultural Heritage Commission can delay the process to find preservation solutions."
"If you watched the 'Brady Bunch,' you knew this house. People make a pilgrimage to see it. To have it designated like this, it makes it all the sweeter."
The Los Angeles city council unanimously voted to designate the Brady Bunch house in the San Fernando Valley as a historic-cultural monument. The two-story home, built in 1959, served as the exterior setting for the television sitcom that aired from 1969 to 1974, while interior scenes were filmed on a soundstage. The landmark status protects the property from demolition or major renovations, though any significant changes would require design review and approval from the Cultural Heritage Commission. The house also appeared in the 1995 Brady Bunch Movie and its sequel. The nonprofit LA Conservancy championed the designation, noting the property's significance to fans of the show who visit as a pilgrimage site.
