Brady Bunch House Oddities
The real house in only a one story. The film crew hung a fake window in the peaked roof area to make it look like two stories. Even if you let yourself believe it's a two story, it doesn't match the floorplan of the inside of the house. As you know, you go up the stairs on the right side of the house and that is where the upstairs is. Not the left side of the house where the (fake) second story is. I remember thinking that when I was 9!
In one of the newer Brady Bunch satire/whatever movies (I didn't care for them...Greg having incestual feelings towards his sister was just disgusting to me, but that's another thread) they cheated by shooting the house from an angle that the tree covered where the "window" would have been, as obviously there is no window there.
It is amazing that they didn't bother to shoot another house, or even a phony one on the backlot, that more closely resembled the layout of the interior set. One of those odd things that was never cleared up!
