where was mr blanding's dream house filmed
Mr. Blandings Builds His Dream House The house built for the 1948 film still stands on the old Fox Ranch property in Malibu Creek State Park in the hills a few miles north of Malibu. It is used as an office for the Park. After seeing the picture at a local theater, in 1950 dentist Luther Werner Fetter and his wife, Mary, purchased the plans for the house from RKO Productions, which produced the film, and built a complete replica of it on Mt. Joy Street in Elizabethtown, Pennsylvania. The Fetters moved into the house at Christmas in 1950. Mary Fetter continued to live in the home until her death in an automobile accident in 1960, while Dr. Fetter remained the sole occupant of the property until his death in 2002.[27] Coordinates: 34°5′41.4″N 118°42′43.63″W﻿ / ﻿34.094833°N 118.7121194°W﻿ / 34.094833; -118.7121194
