Carol O'Conner was a native New Yorker and actually spent a great deal of his youth in both the Elmhurst and Forest Park part of Queens, the latter being almost in the same neighborhood as this house. ;) Dude was authentic.
@@NYCgirl927 It's funny I walked on that very block dozens of times back in the day and never knew that was the house used for the opening for all in the family.. Before the days of internet we couldn't find things out so easily.. I would imagine that must be awkward for the home owners having people come to photograph and video their property.. That's one of the reasons I filmed the house from across the street and made it very short.. Thanks for watching and sharing..
Who would ever believe that in 2022 the All In The Family house along with all the other houses in the neighborhood would be worth close to 1 million dollars.
Yes that is mind blowing to think about.. That typical Queens style house was probably worth about 30 grand in the early 70's.. Thanks for watching and sharing!
@@BaseballPlayer0 I think real-estate all over the country just went up to crazy levels over the last few decades, especially in big metropolitan areas.. I don't exactly know why real-estate went up so high without salaries keeping up.. Probably too many investors just hoarding up all the properties caused such a boom in that industry..
Damn I should go into real estate ....that's big money right there...my fave episode was when that made mob guy Ralph goes to Archie's house to convince him the mafia didn't exist...when he say even the FBI don't use that word ...you know what the FBI calls organized crime...organized crime ..and Archie goes ..a nicer word...I say...there's no nicer word for evil...evil is evil...@@QueensNativeNYC
I always wondered why they chose this house to be the Bunkers for the intro when in the actual episodes, the front door was on the right and the porch was an open porch.
Thanks so much for posting this. This is embarrassing to admit, since I do a lot of proofreading at work, but I finally noticed, decades after the '70s, that there were scenes that took place on a front porch, and the opening credits proved that there was no front porch, and you're proving it now! Some proofeader, right?
You're welcome! .. Yes, this house was only used for the opening intro and there was no filming at this location.. You can clearly see that there is no porch.. Thanks for watching!
@@QueensNativeNYC By the way, I was visiting cousins in Mamaroneck, and they showed me Carl Reiner's house on Bonney (SP?) Meadow Rd in New Rochelle. If you're a Dick Van Dyke Show buff, that's where the Petries lived.
This house was only used for the opening intro.. There was no filming in this location.. All the filming I believe was done in front of a live audience in California, it's likely they were never even in any house at all, but just a set-up designed to look like a house with a fake porch, alleyway, and whatnot.. Thanks for watching!
I’m # 1000 likes 😂, yes thanks for sharing buddy I love the show and as I sit here in my living room watching the show I asked myself hey what about that house shown at the end? Looked it up and there it is!!
Typical of most shows of the period, the "set" never matched the outside shots - All in the Family, Brady Bunch, Happy Days and others I can't think of right now.
You only saw this version of their house in the opening credits. Everything else was recorded on a constructed studio set. It's how a majority of sit-coms operated to save costs.
The house used for the establishing shot is at 89-70 Cooper Avenue, and that's actually the house you showed us. I think the audio in your post says 89-78, which is a few doors up the street. At any rate, it's a great video, and I really appreciate the walk down memory lane.
Yes, you are correct.. The fictional house is 89-70 cooper ave, not 89-78.. I did realize that after I already posted the video.. However I still have the camera pointed at the correct address 89-70 with the American flag in the front of the house..
@@QueensNativeNYC Indeed, you did picture the correct house. And I really do appreciate the time and trouble you took to make this video. I hope to see more of your work. Thanks!
Most Queens homeowners have enclosed their porches to make an extra room. Another fact, most of these homes only had an upstairs bathroom but over the years added on to the first floor.
One of the greatest shows of all time, I still watch the repeats. On the show wasn't it a single family house? I always wondered where that house was located. Thank you for sharing it. God Bless!
Your right, it was a single family home, several scenes were shot on the front porch ,which the town home didn't have ,the only time a town home was pictured was in the opening credits when the camera zoomed in on the front of the house.
It's amazing how people embrace "All in the Family", and don't even know what made it great. Obviously, the writing, the main four actors, all of the great supporting actors/characters, the willingness to take on hot-button topics but with a universal family dynamic that makes it timeless. To me, the main genius of the show was making Archie Bunker -- a bigoted, chauvinistic, somewhat verbally abusive, mule-stubborn guy stuck in a much earlier time frame - into a lovable, and even likable, guy. Carroll O'Connor (who would have found Archie Bunker to be an objectionable meathead) gave a brilliant performance in becoming AB, and showing some actual tenderness underneath the bluster. Along the way, thanks to Norman Lear and the writing staff, they also showed how Mike -- pigheaded and self-righteous in his own way -- could learn a thing or two from Archie. But those who come on these threads and throw in shots at liberals and Biden show their extreme ignorance as Donald Trump - and those of his ilk - are the worst of Bunker with none of his redeeming qualities. None, N-O! So go on, and keep supporting a psycopathic insurrectionist who hates America and also hates you. But yes, I guess we do agree that AiTF was a brilliant series.
Carroll O'Connor and Rob Reiner became so close during the filming of All in the Family because O'Connor was politically to the left of Reiner. He was the polar opposite of Archie Bunker poilitcally
It's funny, I was once in the area filming and I was a block away, but I said to myself "Nobody would be interested in that" lol, look how wrong I was :) I put "Archie Bunker's house" into the search engine and your video is the top suggestion, which probably helps with the views a lot. Now a little trivia for you, Archie Bunker was the Americanized version of the highly successful UK show "Til death us do part" with the main character there called Alf Garnett.
Wow, that's interesting I never knew that.. I remembering growing up with that show when I was a young kid.. We all could relate to that sitcom.. A grouchy middle aged man who is mad at that world constantly fighting with his son in law Mike the meathead.. Hilarious, we all knew some older relatives who were like that.. That would be a nice thing to add to your channel.. I would like to see a different version of the video..
@@QueensNativeNYC You know what is funny, after a rather spurious claim that Carroll O'Connor actually lived in this house, I went looking to see where he actually lived. Get this, I actually have his family home on camera, lol, purely by luck. So I was able to put it into a little short. It isn't perfect, but you can get a clear view of the house, and even better, he grew up just two blocks away from where Helen Keller lived, on the same street.
Watching the show you get the feeling it was a stand alone house with a porch but the credits showed something different, so I’m guessing the Jeffersons would’ve been in the adjoining house on left side of the screen 😂
I was 21 years-old when "All in the Family" first aired in 1970, so I remember it well. The house the Bunker's lived in was nothing like this on the inside of course, and had a little porch in front. You notice that when anyone opens the front door. The house pictured in the video is so much nicer than the old place where Archie lived.
The house in this video was only used for the opening intro.. The location where the actual filming took place does seem to have a different layout then the house used for the opening intro.. I guess they should have made it look more comparable.. It does make it seem kind of flawed.. Thanks for watching and sharing!
@@jimmylieb5225You are reported to UA-cam for disinformation and hate speech against the majority of the legal and living voters in the United States of America.
The older generation really appreciated shows like this.. They couldn't even put a show like this on the air today, everybody would be offended over every little thing that was said.. i always thought of Archie as a loveable bigot because he really didn't mean any bitterness from the heart..
I was going to say it was filmed in front of a live audience, and the outside of the house they show doesn't really go with their staged living room either. When you walk in the front door there is a closet to the right as you enter, looking at the front of the house you can clearly see a big window to the right of the door meaning the door would be in the middle of the front Livingroom which it's not. It is interesting looking back to compare the opening theme song and look at the duplex to compare it with this picture. The tree was just planted looks like and the flagpole still there, the front remolded with vinal siding and new windows since the 70's too.
I grew up in the 70's and 80's in the Midwest US. I would often watch AITF with the grandparents and clearly remember the row-like houses in the intro and at the end credits. I have to say, I would never have in a million years made the connection now that this is the "Bunker" household. The colors are much brighter than I thought; the color tv's back then were terrible compared to now, obviously, and I think external shots were transferred from film to video which was even worse. And of course there are full-grown trees in your video viewed from ground level. In the Intro, there are only saplings when you watch the part where you see the street view one assumes from driving in a car. The scene from the air before that shows larger trees, though in some areas. It's funny how you can have a mental image of something all these years and then find out it isn't quite accurate!
Yes, I know exactly what you mean.. Its funny over the years I had walked on that very block probably at least a few dozen times but never knew that was the block used for the opening intro to all in the family.. I only found that out in 2010 after doing some research.. Thanks for watching and sharing!
Yes, I agree.. The true row houses are in the western section of Queens, near the border of Brooklyn in Ridgewood.. Of course many of the Brooklyn neighborhoods have row houses too.. Thanks for watching!
I used to call it a row house, but it IS a duplex. For that matter, a few blocks from where I live (in a town smaller by several degrees of magnitude than Queens), are quite a number of duplexes.
In Philly we call these “twins”. I thought the same for New York. Duplexes are typically a rowhouse or a twin that is split into apartments on each of the floors.
On the show when you walked into the house there was a closet to the immediate right and nothing else. Based on this the door is in the middle of the house. Even if they had windows in their closet they would have needed more space to the right of the door to be accurate
All in the Family was filmed before a live audience, as it says at the beginning of every program, the scenes were studios built for the program, this is not the house !!!!
It looks like it’s leaning. I always noticed that the view of the house at the start of the show never matched when they showed the porch in the episodes.

It was 704 Houser Street on the show. If you watch the credits from All in the Family you’ll see someone in their driveway that wasn’t edited out.
This was the house in Queens that was only used for the opening intro.. No filming ever took place in Queens.. The show was filmed Television city Hollywood.. Thanks for watching and sharing

@@DUCKDUCKGOISMUCHBETTER She was an unknown that did the dumb hippy chick comedy routine which made people laugh. Nowadays, dumb liberals would take her seriously. She sounded just like one 50 years ago. She even did a weather girl routine about "climate change".....which was pretty funny.
Yes, the house definitely has new aluminum siding.. In the 70's it had some type of asphalt shingle that gave it a fake brick appearance.. Thanks for watching!
Over the years, most of the homes on that block displayed the American flag. It seems like a tradition because the homeowners know the ho.es appear in the intro and Archie was patriotic.
I always said, looks almost like house 🏡 I grew up Northern New Jersey for 31 years ( Right across New York City 🌆 skyline ) Exception was it was a single 1 family, not attached built 1890 - 1920 ( Back Portion ) Even show reminded me of my late parents growing up. I was a boy instead of a girl with an older brother. Good Memories & Wonderful Times I was Very Lucky 🍀 ( 1975 - 2006 )
I only found out about that house a few years ago.. And like you I probably passed by that house hundreds of times with my car, its a nice passage way to woodhaven blvd instead of dealing with the intersection of Metro and Woodhaven.. Thanks for watching and Sharing!
Awesome! On All in the Family the Bunkers lived at 704 Hauser Street, which, incidentally, became the name of a spinoff show in the 90s, starring John Amos (the dad on Good Times), as a staunchly liberal Democrat with a conservative son (a reversal of sorts from the Archie Bunker era). The same internal setting was used for the new show, which only ran for five episodes. It was created by Norman Lear, just like All in the Family.
Wow, that's cool thanks for sharing.. I know there were many spinoffs from all in the family, the Jeffersons of course, then in later years Archie's place and then Gloria had her own spinoff called Gloria where she was a single Mom raising her son after she divorced Meathead Mike.. It was a complete flop though I don't even think it lasted one full season.. But I'll see if I can find some episodes of 704 Houser street on UA-cam..
@@QueensNativeNYC , there are severak episodes on UA-cam. I watched a few minutes of the first episode-one of only about five that were filmed. The show definitely had potential, especially with John Amos at the helm. But I think it succumbed to poor ratings.
I watched all in the family with my mom, i was a little girl when it started airing in 1972, i was 6 yrs old and i wondered why the outside of the house didn't match the inside 🤗
The house that was used for the opening intro never had a porch.. No filming was ever done at this house, this was just a fictional house that was only used for the opening intro..Thanks for watching and sharing..
This isn't really the house the Bunkers played in, the Bunkers played on a live stage in Hollywood California, at the end of the introduction, you can see that the door of the house doesn't match the door we see on the live stage! and there is no porch out there like we saw in the show, so believe it or not, this isn't the house they played in! they just made it look like that, i think because the Jeffersons lived just next door to them.
@@QueensNativeNYC Yes you're right and i know that, i think there are people who believe this is the house they played in! hahaha i hope more people now know that isn't the house the Bunkers played in! ha, that house now in Queens NY is sure a beautiful house! thanks for your reply!😊
Boy the way that Edith played songs that made the hit parade. Folks like us had it made. We could use Archie and Edith again. LOVING 🎵 Remembering 🎶you! 🎵 🏆 🎉
This house always had an enclosed porch but Archie’s house looked like it was an open porch it never did make any sense to me 2 totally different houses???
Yes, in the 70's most houses in Queens looked rather shabby.. It's nice that people take better care of their properties today.. Thanks for watching and sharing..
They lived at 704 Hauser St.. Their house didn’t look anything like that on TV it was brown and had a front porch and they never talked about a side alley.
We would call this a duplex. But then again I am from rural Georgia. As a kid I liked All in the Family because I didn't know anybody who talked like that...ter-lets (toilets), spurled (spoiled) and versed (voices)...it was hilarious to me. And I also can say that Archie was the one who taught me a whole bunch of racial slurs I'd never heard in my life. I asked my Mama what a wop, mick, and a hebe were and she told me I couldn't watch that anymore, lol!
There never was a porch in front of this house.. This house was used for the opening intro only and no filming ever took place at this location.. Thanks for watching and sharing!
It was 704 houser in the show.. But that was just a fictional address..There is no such address anywhere in the borough of Queens.. Thanks for watching!
There never was a porch in front of the house that was used for the opening intro.. Go figure, you think they would have tried to find a house with a porch for the opening intro to be more consistent with the set up where the actual filming took place.. Most Queens homes do not have a porch in front of the house so I guess it wasn't practical.. Thanks for watching!
This was just a fictional house, no filming actually took place in this house.. I'm not really sure if they wanted to make it seem like the Jefferson's where living in a seperate house across an alleyway or connected to the same structure..
This was the house that was used for the opening intro only.. In the show the house defintely had a porch in the front, but clearly there is no porch in front of the house used for the opening intro.. Thanks for watching!
I've always been amazed at how small the house actually is compared to the interiors they had on the soundstage. The Bunkers' living room sofa was probably over 6 feet long, and would never fit in the real house. I guess that's what you call suspending belief... And it worked!

The scene from the air before that shows larger trees, though in some areas. It's funny how you can have a mental image of something all these years and then find out it isn't quite accurate!
Yes, I know exactly what you mean.. Its funny over the years I had walked on that very block probably at least a few dozen times but never knew that was the block used for the opening intro to all in the family.. I only found that out in 2010 after doing some research.. Thanks for watching and sharing!
Great stuff. Funniest show of all time.
I was still a kid 15 years old when it started. Absolutely loved the show. Now I'm a old man and my parents are Dead. 😥
I hear you pal.. Sad how life passes by so quickly..
Thanks!! :) But it's a duplex, not a row house, Philly or otherwise. I need to get up to Cooper and take a pic. LOL.
Yes, I agree.. The true row houses are in the western section of Queens, near the border of Brooklyn in Ridgewood.. Of course many of the Brooklyn neighborhoods have row houses too.. Thanks for watching!
I used to call it a row house, but it IS a duplex. For that matter, a few blocks from where I live (in a town smaller by several degrees of magnitude than Queens), are quite a number of duplexes.
In Philly we call these “twins”. I thought the same for New York.
Duplexes are typically a rowhouse or a twin that is split into apartments on each of the floors.
All the family I like Archie Bunker
On the show when you walked into the house there was a closet to the immediate right and nothing else. Based on this the door is in the middle of the house. Even if they had windows in their closet they would have needed more space to the right of the door to be accurate
This was only a fictional house that was used for the opening intro.. Now filming was done at this location.. Thanks for watching and sharing!!!
All in the Family was filmed before a live audience, as it says at the beginning of every program, the scenes were studios built
for the program, this is not the house !!!!
The house you see here was only used for the opening intro.. Thanks for watching and sharing!
It looks like the house on Mary Tyler Moore to me.
It looks like it’s leaning. I always noticed that the view of the house at the start of the show never matched when they showed the porch in the episodes.
It was 704 Houser Street on the show. If you watch the credits from All in the Family you’ll see someone in their driveway that wasn’t edited out.
Thanks for watching and sharing!
The Bunker's had a porch, not a stoop.
All In The Family was filmed in Queens, New York.
This was the house in Queens that was only used for the opening intro.. No filming ever took place in Queens.. The show was filmed Television city Hollywood.. Thanks for watching and sharing
The houses shown on the intro were located in Ozone Park. These houses are in the Forest Park area of Woodhaven Queens.
No, that's not correct.. But thanks for watching and sharing!
The tree! I guess that is what 50 years does to a young sapling.
Grown from that little bag of manure that Gloria used to carry around.
@@jimdep6542I don't remember seeing Gloria carry Rob Reiner around. 😂
@@DUCKDUCKGOISMUCHBETTER She did, but they never showed it on air.
Anyway , remember " The Hippy Chick" from the Smothers Brothers ? She carried a bag of manure around for some strange reason.
@@jimdep6542 I guess I never knew about that. Also never watched the Smothers Brothers.
@@DUCKDUCKGOISMUCHBETTER She was an unknown that did the dumb hippy chick comedy routine which made people laugh. Nowadays, dumb liberals would take her seriously. She sounded just like one 50 years ago. She even did a weather girl routine about "climate change".....which was pretty funny.
Which house right or left and why didn’t you show a picture of house put up next to the house asking for a friend 🕶️👍✌️
I don't fully understand your question.. But its the house with the American flag in front.. Thanks for watching and sharing!!!
Well is it painted now or did they put aluminum siding over brick? As I recall, during the series the structure was brick.
Yes, the house definitely has new aluminum siding.. In the 70's it had some type of asphalt shingle that gave it a fake brick appearance.. Thanks for watching!
@@QueensNativeNYC I see. Thank you for answering.
Same flag pole in the yard!!!
Over the years, most of the homes on that block displayed the American flag. It seems like a tradition because the homeowners know the ho.es appear in the intro and Archie was patriotic.
Boy da way Glenn Milla played.
We could use a man like Herbert Hoover again...
@@warrenhoffman2006 Gee our old LaSalle ran great.
swongs dat made da hit parade.
@@hifijohn Guys like us we had it made. Dose were da days.
I always said, looks almost like house 🏡 I grew up Northern New Jersey for 31 years ( Right across New York City 🌆 skyline ) Exception was it was a single 1 family, not attached built 1890 - 1920 ( Back Portion )
Even show reminded me of my late parents growing up.
I was a boy instead of a girl with an older brother.

I wonder how they settled on this particular house to use as the Bunker house?? must be a story there!
Good question..
Glendale?! I never even knew it was this close to me. I’ve probably passed it many times.
I only found out about that house a few years ago.. And like you I probably passed by that house hundreds of times with my car, its a nice passage way to woodhaven blvd instead of dealing with the intersection of Metro and Woodhaven.. Thanks for watching and Sharing!
Awesome! On All in the Family the Bunkers lived at 704 Hauser Street, which, incidentally, became the name of a spinoff show in the 90s, starring John Amos (the dad on Good Times), as a staunchly liberal Democrat with a conservative son (a reversal of sorts from the Archie Bunker era). The same internal setting was used for the new show, which only ran for five episodes. It was created by Norman Lear, just like All in the Family.
Wow, that's cool thanks for sharing.. I know there were many spinoffs from all in the family, the Jeffersons of course, then in later years Archie's place and then Gloria had her own spinoff called Gloria where she was a single Mom raising her son after she divorced Meathead Mike.. It was a complete flop though I don't even think it lasted one full season.. But I'll see if I can find some episodes of 704 Houser street on UA-cam..
@@QueensNativeNYC , there are severak episodes on UA-cam. I watched a few minutes of the first episode-one of only about five that were filmed. The show definitely had potential, especially with John Amos at the helm. But I think it succumbed to poor ratings.
@@davidmusicmaker So amos played 2 characters in the Learverse
@@BaseballPlayer0 Yes, at least two. He also played Gordy the Weatherman on The Mary Tyler Moore Show.
I watched all in the family with my mom, i was a little girl when it started airing in 1972, i was 6 yrs old and i wondered why the outside of the house didn't match the inside 🤗
Thanks for watching!
The house was supposed to have a front porch. Also, AITFamily was played on set before a live audience, no?
Yes, this is just a fictional house that was used for the opening intro.. No filming was done from this house.. Thanks for watching and sharing!
"EDITH"!
Stifle it..
"hey-ah Edith over there ....."
@@QueensNativeNYC"You're a pip, Edith.....a real pip."
Luved that series,they hav it playing again in NewZealand
I often wondered where the porch was on the intro. Its there in the show though.
The house that was used for the opening intro never had a porch.. No filming was ever done at this house, this was just a fictional house that was only used for the opening intro..Thanks for watching and sharing..
This isn't really the house the Bunkers played in, the Bunkers played on a live stage in Hollywood California, at the end of the introduction, you can see that the door of the house doesn't match the door we see on the live stage! and there is no porch out there like we saw in the show, so believe it or not, this isn't the house they played in! they just made it look like that, i think because the Jeffersons lived just next door to them.
This was the house that was only used for the opening intro.. Thanks for watching and sharing!
@@QueensNativeNYC Yes you're right and i know that, i think there are people who believe this is the house they played in! hahaha i hope more people now know that isn't the house the Bunkers played in! ha, that house now in Queens NY is sure a beautiful house! thanks for your reply!😊
That doesn't look like the house in show!
No sheltered porch! It seemed counterintuitive to have a porch on the set but have the house in real life without one.
I can't argue with that.. It Thanks for watching!
I think it was called Hauser Ave in the show
I remember he had a bigger porch when little Stepinie was sitting on ledge around the porch. And there street name was Hauser street on the show.
Thanks for watching and sharing!
Nice house great show 👍🏻❤️
Thanks for watching and sharing!!!
Boy the way that Edith played songs that made the hit parade. Folks like us had it made. We could use Archie and Edith again. LOVING 🎵 Remembering 🎶you! 🎵 🏆 🎉
I would love to see the inside of the house.
That house was only used for the opening intro.. No filming was ever done at this location.. Thanks for watching!!!
So, which was it?
The left or the right unit?
The right.. American flag
Thank you
You're welcome!
This house always had an enclosed porch but Archie’s house looked like it was an open porch it never did make any sense to me 2 totally different houses???
That’s a duplex. Is it the one on the left or the one on the right?
The little tree sure has grown up
Yes.. Thanks for watching!
Archie Bunker Graduated from newtown High school in Elmhurst queens New York. Fun facts .
Yes that is true, alot of famous people went to Newtown High.. Thanks for watching!
The neighborhood still looks good. Houses look better in 2024, than 1971’s opening.
Yes, in the 70's most houses in Queens looked rather shabby.. It's nice that people take better care of their properties today.. Thanks for watching and sharing..
That’s a two family house. Archie’s house had a porch.
That would be the house they zoomed in on in the beginning credits.
Yes.. Thanks for watching!
They lived at 704 Hauser St.. Their house didn’t look anything like that on TV it was brown and had a front porch and they never talked about a side alley.
Thanks for watching and sharing!!!
Never knew it was a real house...thought it was a prop house...built on a set or back lot..
Thanks for watching!
That’s not a “row house” if you’re from Philly. That’s considered a Twin. Row houses in Philly can be 15 houses all together. That’s a “row.”
Thanks for sharing!
IN New York that would be called a semi-detached.
Yes, I'm from Philly and we definitely lived in a row home. A whole block of homes all together.
We would call this a duplex. But then again I am from rural Georgia. As a kid I liked All in the Family because I didn't know anybody who talked like that...ter-lets (toilets), spurled (spoiled) and versed (voices)...it was hilarious to me. And I also can say that Archie was the one who taught me a whole bunch of racial slurs I'd never heard in my life. I asked my Mama what a wop, mick, and a hebe were and she told me I couldn't watch that anymore, lol!
@@melaniew4354 Archie definitely had that old NYC accent..
That looks horrible with two different aluminum siding colors on a duplex
Thanks for watching and sharing!!!
Looks like they ended up with the aluminum siding after all a model home.
If you look at the show's intro, that tree out front was skinny and only about 6 ft. tall and provided no shade back then. Look at it now!
Yes, the block looks so much more refreshing with all those trees grown up.. Thanks for watching!
Yes. The original footage was shot in the early '70s, more than 50 years ago at this point (10-31-23).
It doesn't have the porch
The Jeffersons lived a few houses away from archie bunkers house at 89-74 Cooper Ave, and they were always arguing and fighting all the time.
Yep, at least until they moved on up to the east side to a deluxe apartment in the sky!!!
Just the address but the house is different not at all the same no porch. Good show.
Thanks for watching and sharing!
They had a porch , I don't see it here
There never was a porch in front of this house.. This house was used for the opening intro only and no filming ever took place at this location.. Thanks for watching and sharing!
the interiors were all filmed on a sound stage in california like most interior scenes in tv shows and movies are donr i. studios
Thanks for watching and sharing!
Uuhh sir...which house was archie house? The 1 in front of the gray car??!!
Yes.. The house with the American flag..
@@QueensNativeNYC sorry.... almost didn't see it...
@@ruthmiller1406 No problem.. Thanks for watching!
i thought it was 704 houser st !
It was 704 houser in the show.. But that was just a fictional address..There is no such address anywhere in the borough of Queens.. Thanks for watching!
Where is the front porch???
There never was a porch in front of the house that was used for the opening intro.. Go figure, you think they would have tried to find a house with a porch for the opening intro to be more consistent with the set up where the actual filming took place.. Most Queens homes do not have a porch in front of the house so I guess it wasn't practical.. Thanks for watching!
To bad they took all in the family off the air really enjoyed the show.
How could this be the same house, since Archie's house had an open porch & this one doesn't?
This house was only used the opening intro and no filming ever took place at this location.. Thanks for watching and sharing!
been there right off woodhaven blvd looking out front door u see st johns cemetary
Yes, that's 100 percent correct.. Thanks for watching!
I never realized they lived in a duplex...did the Jefferson's live in the other half?
This was just a fictional house, no filming actually took place in this house.. I'm not really sure if they wanted to make it seem like the Jefferson's where living in a seperate house across an alleyway or connected to the same structure..
It was 704 hauser street
That was a fictional address for the show, there is no such address anywhere in Queens NY.. Thanks for watching!
Why did and how did they pick that house to use??
What happened to the front porch!?
This was the house that was used for the opening intro only.. In the show the house defintely had a porch in the front, but clearly there is no porch in front of the house used for the opening intro.. Thanks for watching!
THE CORRECT HOUSE NUMBER IS 89-70 COOPER AVE, 89-78 IS ABOUT 4 HOUEES AWAY
That tree was just a sapling in the closing credits.
Yes.. That combined with the new siding on the houses gives the block a very different from the 1970's.. Thanks for watching!
I've always been amazed at how small the house actually is compared to the interiors they had on the soundstage. The Bunkers' living room sofa was probably over 6 feet long, and would never fit in the real house. I guess that's what you call suspending belief... And it worked!
