The Brady Bunch house at 11222 Dilling Street, in North Hollywood, has secured its place in history after the Los Angeles City Council voted to add it to the list of “Historic-Cultural Monuments” throughout LA County. The house joins a list of more than 1,200 sites that include the Hollywood sign, the Hollywood Walk of Fame, various Frank Lloyd Wright homes and other sites around the city.
“An HCM can identify with important events; notable figures of national, state or local importance and/or distinctive architectural styles,” said the Los Angeles City Planning website.
The Brady Bunch house is a midcentury split-level ranch home designed by architect Harry M. Londelius and built in 1959, according to an LA Times article. It was just the home’s façade that appeared on The Brady Bunch; the rest of the show was shot at a studio.
The Brady Bunch aired on ABC between 1969 and 1974 during a time of transition in the types of television programs Americans were interested in watching. The Vietnam War was raging, and shows like All in the Family (1971-1979) and M*A*S*H (1972-1983) tackled the social issues of the day. In contrast, The Brady Bunch provided an idyllic, Leave It to Beaver-esque way of looking at a middle-class suburban family — albeit a blended one — that dealt with surface-level issues like sibling rivalries, teenage dating, household chores and the father’s (Mike Brady, played by Robert Reed) challenges with his boss and his job.

The home on Dilling Street went up for sale in 2018, and after a one-of-a-kind bidding war with NSYNC’s Lance Bass, it was purchased by HGTV. We paired the Property Brothers up with the actors from The Brady Bunch to renovate the home’s interior to match the show's set in a four-part series called A Very Brady Renovation.
Following the renovation — which reportedly added 2,000 square feet to the home — the property was sold again to a couple who created “The Brady Experience” and allowed the public to tour the home for the first time in late 2025.
