The House from Pee Wee’s Big Adventure is located at 1848 Oxley Street in South Pasadena. Purchased in 2019 for $9,495,000, the suburban Atlanta property is anchored by a 15,000-square-foot main house with 8 bedrooms, 9 baths, and all the bells and whistles you can expect. The house sits on 3.67 acres of land and is considered to be among the largest (and most private) properties in the neighborhood. Artist Tom Every, better known as Dr. Evermore, creator of the Forevertron, was employed by Jordan for some time. Before his falling out with Jordan, Every created many of the displays, including the carousel.

That was his approach when he began to collect dollhouses. He read about dollhouses of note, studied dollhouse plans, and talked to collectors and hobbyists. Soon he determined a collection of at least 265 would be the largest in the world and that number became a goal. SPRING GREEN, WIS. — My wife and I stopped talking to each other two hours into our three-hour self-guided tour of the House on the Rock in Spring Green, a small town west of Madison, Wisconsin.

He designed the home there after leaving Oak Park, Illinois. From Taliesin, Wright designed some of his most famous works, including Fallingwater. The giant carousel is part of Section 2, meaning that it’s part of all the tours except for the Original House Experience. This is one of the most popular sections of the House, called the Infinity Room.

The Hollyhock House was designed by Frank Llyod Wright for Aline Barnsdall though she quickly became disillusioned with the home and donated it to the city of LA. The hollyhock was Aline’s favorite flower and was used as a theme throughout the house. Even if you cannot tour the home it is visible from the park and the city views are wonderful as well. I recommend stopping by for at least a quick visit if you can. I have not been able to confirm if the grounds are still open to the public during COVID 19. The Greystone Mansion in Beverly Hills feels like the perfect home to kick off this list with.
He wanted exotic animals and fanciful creations that were anything but a traditional merry-go-round horse, and he had his cadre of talented artists build them to match his drawings. What Jordan ended up with were fanciful centaurs, dragons, peacocks and mermaids pulling a royal carriage, all swirling in a dark room lighted by 20,000 twinkling lights. When the dollhouse collection was completed, each residence had been given appropriate architectural detailing, painting, wallpaper and electrification.
Wisconsin's House on the Rock is amazing, bewildering
There’s a sizable parking lot, so you’ll be able to find easy parking unless you come on a very busy day. Jordan finally opened the House to visitors in 1960, charging 50 cents admission. Over time, the Wisconsin attraction has grown to receive more than a million visitors annually. He started by renting the land around the rock, eventually buying the 240-acre property with help from his parents.
The buildings serve as a perfect background to educate the public about the everyday lives of Southern Californians from the Civil War to the early 20th Century. Guided tours of the museum are supplemented by living history performances, educational programs, hands-on training, exhibitions and special events. The Gamble House in Pasadena is one of my favorite homes to visit. It is filled with fascinating details and a tour is well worth your time. I recommend visiting The Gamble House to admire the architecture and history as much as I recommend visiting it as a filming location. I have toured the house for free on two different occasions which you can read about here.
This house is picturesque and has a fabulous fairytale vibe to it. The front of the mansion features a large white door with pillars on either side that the family loves to decorate for the season. The property has a colossal 18,000 square feet of living space spread across the main mansion as well as the detached 2,500-square-foot guesthouse. Perhaps the music is so foreboding because it is a disappointment when visitors learn that no one is allowed to ride it. But at the end of its 218-foot length, the room has progressively narrowed to one inch in width. He constructed it to jut out over the valley below with no vertical support beneath, building in 3,264 windows and including a glass pane in the floor.
Diehard fans can indulge in an Eames tradition, a picnic in the house meadow, for $750 (1-4 adults). Includes picnic basket and a tour of the exterior and interior. Formally known as Case Study House No. 8, the Eames House is a Mid-Century Modern architectural landmark located in Pacific Palisades. It was built in 1949 by renowned husband-and-wife designers Charles and Ray Eames, to serve as their home and studio.
Some of the houses are famous because of the architecture while others are famous for being used in movies and tv shows. There are so many different ways that we are spoiled in Southern California but the incredible variety of homes that we can visit is truly something special. Please note that not all of the homes on this list are open to the public but I will make sure to specify which ones are available for you to visit vs which ones you can drive by. Visits by Jordan to tourist attractions like Disneyland and Knott’s Berry Farm in California led to the idea of creating a separate building to house a “main street” of themed buildings. The store windows were a convenient way to exhibit the ever-growing collections he had hired buyers to search for and acquire from around the world. There are many reasons to visit House on the Rock, from the stunning views of the surrounding countryside to the nearly 200-foot-long Infinity Room that offers a breathtaking glimpse into the valley below.
Then he began camping there, but when his tent blew away in a storm he decided on a more permanent structure. Hauling stone and wood singlehandedly 45 feet up a ladder, he began building a one-room retreat. The Infinity Room at the House on the Rock was a decades-long dream of Alex Jordan. When a visitor enters the room, it is 30 feet wide, but at the end of its 218-foot length, the room has progressively narrowed to 1 inch in width.
North of Long Beach in San Pedro you can find the spot that was used for the school Anchor Beach on the series which you can read about in this post. This house is within walking distance from Fox Studios where the show was filmed so that worked out well for them. The Brady Bunch House has been one of the most exciting homes that I have visited so far. After HGTV did the makeover of the house I was hoping that they might open it up for fans to see. It just happens to be five minutes away from my favorite place to eat.
Of all the homes on this list, this is the only one so far that will give you beautiful views of the ocean. It has been called the Taj Mahal of Tile and I absolutely love that the house features locally made tile! The house was built in 1929 as a vacation home for the Adamson family but eventually became their fulltime residence. After the death of the owners, the state won a lawsuit to put beach parking where the house is. The parking lot got approved but thanks to the work of locals and volunteers the house still remains. Finding filming locations from movies and TV shows has become one of my favorite things to do.
