The house used for “The Brady Bunch” is now one of the city’s official cultural monuments following a Los Angeles City Council vote.
The 13 council members who were present at Wednesday’s meeting all voted to give the house the new status.
The designation means that if the owners ever want to raze the property, the city’s Cultural Heritage Commission can use a formal objection to delay the demolition by 180 days and get another 180-day extension if the city council approves, according to Los Angeles City Planning.
In addition, the owners of the house will be able to put up a plaque showing that the “Brady Bunch” house is a “Historic-Cultural Monument,” plus file for a property tax reduction and will be entitled to assistance in complying with federal standards for historic properties.
Conversely, the house’s owners will have to get Cultural Heritage Commission approval to make changes inside or on the exterior of the house in compliance with the federal standards for historic properties.
“Long before it became a pop‑culture pilgrimage site and backdrop for countless photo ops, the Brady Bunch House helped shape America’s vision of family life … We’re thrilled to see it now designated as a Historic-Cultural Monument, ensuring the Brady Bunch — and their iconic home — remain part of Los Angeles’ story,” L.A. Conservancy CEO Adrian Scott Fine told the Los Angeles Times.
“The Brady Bunch” house was bought by Warner Bros. Discovery subsidiary HGTV in 2018 and was featured in a miniseries on the channel documenting its renovation. After that, it was sold to TV producer and “The Brady Bunch” fan Tina Trahan, according to City News Service.
Ms. Trahan opened the home to the public for tours for the first time in November 2025 as part of a three-day charity fundraiser, according to City News Service.
“The Brady Bunch” was a TV sitcom that ran from 1969 to 1974.
