Architecture – Television & Cinema Houses
It’s always fun to explore houses used for past television shows or movies. Some are facades, some you can visit, and some are private homes. So should you find yourself in front of one be respectful.
When in San Francisco several years ago I wanted to see The Painted Ladies. That row of houses is next to Alamo Square. My daughter and I taxied over. Then from the top of Alamo Square we could so easily see our hotel downtown that we decided to walk back. Little did we know we would be walking through the Tenderloin District. There we were in sketchy neighbourhood when my daughter decides to pet a dog tied on a post outside a restaurant. The owner came running out and started yelling at us. In a pre cellphone era we hightailed it out of there and back to our hotel. Thing about San Francisco is very often one block is safe and the next is not. At least that’s how it was when I visited.
Have you visited any? Is there one you would live in?
