You could almost hear the Bumpus' dogs barking next door!
This place was SOOOOO AWESOME and even though I was in Cleveland unwillingly, this was the highlight of my trip! I can't believe I got to stand on the porch of childhood Christmas Icon-ery (Is that even a word?).
A lot of work went into making it 'as close as possible' inside to the set used for filming and some scenes were actually filmed inside.
The current owner bought it after becoming a successful manufacturer of 'electric sex in the window' leg lamps. I'm glad he was able to restore this place back to its original movie splendor.
I was even surprised to see the original mailbox for the Little Orphan Annie decoder still standing and while I wouldn't want to be in this neighborhood after dark, it was great visiting a true Christmas movie treasure.
