Menglu's former residence was almost demolished
According to Reuters on September 8th, the Los Angeles City Council voted on the 8th to initiate the process of designating the former residence of the late actress Marilyn Monroe as a historical and cultural relic to avoid its demolition. In 1962, Marilyn Monroe passed away here due to an overdose of medication.
According to a spokesperson for female legislator Tracy Parker, the motion was proposed by Parker and passed unanimously on the same day. Monroe's former residence is a Spanish colonial style building located in the Brentwood area of Los Angeles.
After the Los Angeles City Council passed the motion with a vote of 12-0, the building and safety committee immediately revoked the permit issued a day ago to demolish the building. The motion also prohibits significant changes to it and will examine its potential as a landmark building.

In the early 1960s, after ending her third marriage to playwright Arthur Miller, Marilyn Monroe purchased this 270 square meter single story residence for $75000. This is Monroe's only independently owned residence.
Previously, there were reports that this residential building would be demolished, which sparked anger among netizens. Senator Parker said that her office received hundreds of calls urging her to keep the house from being demolished.
