Anderson and his location scout found this house before he began working on the script. He began to conjure up the concept of the film as soon as he walked in. The house was unoccupied at the time, so Anderson rented it for six months and shot multiple exterior and interior shots there, transforming it into what we see in the film. The house is now a private residence.

What's funny is this neighborhood, while perfectly nice is otherwise unassuming. It's not like every building on this block is this grand and yet the director managed to find this very characteristic building. Again, see the movie and marvel that this behemoth is just there in plain daylight for all to see.

This street feels like your in Netherlands. They also had a flee market when I was there, selling stuff like jewelry, old electronics, DVDs, CDs, and vinyls. There are people that actually live in the houses, I saw plenty of people go in and out of the houses. What I like is that this street isn't too busy, or swarming with tourists.

Sadly, there's a bit of graffiti spoiling it as of our visit, hopefully that will get cleaned up.

Built in 1748, Van Cortlandt is the oldest house in the Bronx. The section currently Riverdale was…read moreknown as Yonkers and Kingsbridge back in those times before NYC existed. We were here for the Van Cortlandt family history tour with Historian Nick Dembrowski, who was well versed and a very informative host. The Van Cortlandt family settled in New York from Holland in the late 1690s on several thousand acres of farmland with slaves prominently from the Caribbean islands, specifically colonial Jamaica, where the merchant family of Frederick Van Cortlandt imported many goods, such as Rum, Sugar, Allspice, Pimentos, Indigo, Coffee and Chocolate. On their farm they raised cattle, sheep, goats, chicken, pigs, and grew crops of wheat, corn, rye and buckwheat. It is a fascinating story of a wealthy family. Of course George Washington slept here during the Revolutionary War of 1776. Take the tour and enjoy seeing the rooms of the well preserved three story house. The tour is free for Bronx residents, otherwise admission is $5, very affordable. Thank you! **Do check their website for hours and special events**

The family over the years acquired properties from surrounding farms to add to the size of their property. During the Revolutionary War both American and British troops occupied the home. It was past down through generations of the Van Courtlandt family all through the 18th century then it was sold to the New York City for Public Parkland.
