What happened

Why it matters

In March, the Los Angeles City Council voted to grant Historic-Cultural Monument status to the iconic home of the Bradys, cementing the famous TV home into the city’s history books after a vote held before a packed chamber at City Hall.

Common ground

Despite only the home’s exterior being part of the iconic TV show of the 70’s, visitors will soon be able to stop by the modest mid-century split-level ranch house at 11222 West Dilling Street in Studio City, for tours on a limited basis.

Perspective signals

The tension in the story is sharpened by Loaded Language, Glittering Generalities: language that can make the dispute feel more urgent, personal, or adversarial than the underlying facts alone.
