I thought this was interesting when I read this. Over here in NYC, I get a copy of USA Weekend when I buy the Sunday paper. Every week, there's a page called "Who's News", where a columnist answers questions readers have about celebrities and other famous people. This week, there was a question on Charmed. No, it was not on Alyssa, Holly or Rose but that always-asked-about house that serves as the backdrop for the Halliwell manor:
Q: Tell me about the beautiful house the sisters live in on the WB's Charmed. Is it in San Francisco, where the show is set?
BECKY (Last name withheld by me), Appleton, Wis.
A: No. Halliwell Manor, haven for all things supernatural, is in the Angelino Heights neighborhood near downtown Los Angeles. The Victorian's location was chosen for its lower production costs and better weather. "We wanted to have a house that was around for a long time and could look a little creepy and spooky," says producer Brad Kern. Halliwell does the trick, with a little help from other historic Victorians and old streetlights on the block. Still, most of the shooting is done on a soundstage modeled after the actual house but a little bigger.
Hmm...something tells me that this house is going to surpass the "Brady Bunch" house in terms of pop culture lore.
