The Los Angeles City Council has designated the home where Marilyn Monroe lived and died as a local historical landmark. This decision, made in a unanimous vote on Wednesday, ends a months-long battle to save the Spanish Colonial-style house from demolition. The property, located in Brentwood, faced opposition from its owners who had sought to demolish it. The council's decision followed a delay to address concerns from the property owners and neighborhood residents.
