The Los Angeles City Council voted unanimously Wednesday to designate the house used for exterior shots in the television sitcom "The Brady Bunch" as a historic-cultural monument.

The modest mid-century home, located in Studio City in the San Fernando Valley, served as the exterior backdrop for the popular 1970s family sitcom that ran from 1969 to 1974. The designation provides official protection for the property as part of Los Angeles history.

The historic-cultural monument status protects the beloved landmark from potential demolition, preserving the iconic structure that became synonymous with the fictional Brady family home. The designation recognizes the cultural significance of the property in American television history.

The house gained renewed attention in recent years as fans of the classic sitcom have visited the location, cementing its place as a notable piece of television memorabilia. The unanimous vote by the city council reflects the broad recognition of the property's cultural importance to Los Angeles and television history.
