The Los Angeles City Council has unanimously voted to designate the house used for exterior shots of the classic TV sitcom "The Brady Bunch" as a historic-cultural monument. This grants landmark protections to the property, which has become a popular photo-op destination for fans of the show.

Why it matters

The Brady Bunch house has become an iconic piece of American pop culture, with the sitcom living on in syndication for decades. Granting it landmark status helps preserve this piece of television history and ensures the home's recognizable facade will be protected from major renovations or demolition.

The details

The house, located in the San Fernando Valley, was built in 1959 and was used for exterior shots of the Brady family home during the show's original run from 1969 to 1974. While the interior scenes were filmed on a soundstage, the home's shingle-and-stone exterior with a peaked roof became instantly recognizable to viewers. The landmark status means any future owners will have to go through a design review process before making major changes to the property.

  • The LA City Council voted unanimously to grant landmark status on March 5, 2026.
