<\/p>\nLOA ANGELES — Here’s the story … of how a modest mid-century home became a Los Angeles landmark.<\/p>\n
The Los Angeles City Council voted unanimously on Wednesday to designate the the so-called “Brady Bunch” house in the San Fernando Valley as a historic-cultural monument.<\/p>\n
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.<\/p>\n

Interior scenes were shot on a soundstage, with sets that bore no resemblance to the property that become a photo-op magnet for “Brady Bunch” fans.<\/p>\n
The show, which lived on for decades in syndication, featured the comic travails of a family of six blended-family siblings – “the youngest one in curls,” as the theme song explained.<\/p>\n
The shingle-and-stone home with a peaked roof also appeared in the 1995 big screen film “The Brady Bunch Movie” and its sequel.<\/p>\n
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.<\/p>\n
The nonprofit L.A. Conservancy pushed for the landmark status and CEO Adrian Scott Fine said he was thrilled it was approved. He said fans of the show have a personal connection to the property.<\/p>\n
“If you watched the ‘Brady Bunch,’ you knew this house. People make a pilgrimage to see it,” Fine said Wednesday. “To have it designated like this, it makes it all the sweeter.”<\/p>\n
When the house went on the market in 2018, the cable network HGTV won a bidding war that drove the price up to $3.5 million – or $1.6 million over the listing price for the then-2,400-square-foot (223-square-meter) residence.<\/p>\n
The house was expanded, remodeled and redecorated to give it trademark elements of the set version, including the wood-paneled living room with a floating staircase and an orange-and-green kitchen.<\/p>\n
The process was documented in a four-part HGTV miniseries called “A Very Brady Renovation.”<\/p>\n
