Originally built for the 1946
movie "So Goes My Love" (aka "A Genius in the Family") the house was originally the residence of Hiram and Percy Maxim, so it was known as the "Maxim House" for years until the Munsters came along in 1964 (the show was in production until 1966).
The address used by The Munsters was 1313 Mockingbird Lane.
A "Munsters" fan
has built a full-scale version of the house - read
more here.
The house has now been completely
remodelled for Desperate Housewives so it now looks like this:
