Special thanks to Kelly of Old House Dreams for tracking down the facts for me here (page 9 of the PDF). The dimensions are a bit larger and the floor plan is different. The homeowner got the plans turned around, however, and inadvertently built the house backwards.ĩ/10 UPDATE: Readers have informed me that even though it was long believed to have been a Sears Kit house, research showed it wasn’t after all. This is only one of the four Magnolia floor plans ever built, and the only one built in the South: What I found interesting was that the grand old home was actually a Sears kit house, purchased for $5,140 (read more about kit houses here). I went through half a box of tissues on this movie. Anyone who has had a loved one with Alzheimer’s knows how painful that can be. James Garner and Gena Rowlands play Noah and Allie “all grown up.”īoy, did I bawl when Allie’s children and grandchildren show up and she doesn’t recognize them. It was filmed at Black River Plantation in Georgetown County, South Carolina. Noah and Allie are living here in the present-day, at a nursing home.
The Nursing Home (Black River Plantation): (We all know how well that works!)Īllie’s mother, played to icy perfection by Joan Allen, informs her daughter that they are leaving early to return to their home in the city. In case you missed this movie–Noah (Ryan Gosling) is a poor boy from the wrong side of the tracks, and Allie (Rachael McAdams) has parents who, according to one of the characters, are “richer than God.” The parents aren’t thrilled with the new relationship and determine to keep them apart. *UPDATE: Readers have informed me that the interiors were shot at Calhoun Manor in Charleston. I’m assuming they filmed the interior shots elsewhere. Interior photographs of the house aren’t allowed, but based on this postcard I found, the real rooms look nothing like the interiors in the movie: The Boone Plantation has been open to visitors since 1957. Photos of the house taken during production (via DVD special features):
#WHERE WAS THE NOTEBOOK FILMED MOVIE#
(You can see how it looked in the movie here.) Rumor has it that a photo was taken of the nearly mile-long “Avenue of Oaks,” as it is known, by film location scouts back in the 1930s and used as inspiration for Twelve Oaks in Gone With the Wind. It would take two centuries for the massive, moss-draped branches to meet overhead. In 1743, the son of Major John Boone planted live oak trees, arranging them in two evenly spaced rows. The plantation is open to tourists who can see what life was like for its residents in the 1800s. We don’t see them in the movie, but there are 9 original slave cabins still standing on the property, dating back to the 1700s (photo via the DVD special features): The house itself dates to the early 20th century.
The antebellum mansion is located in South Carolina near Charleston and has the distinction of being one of America’s oldest working plantations, growing and producing crops for over 320 years. Let’s take a look! Allie’s Family’s Summer Home:īoone Hall Plantation served as Allie’s family’s summer home. I don’t know why I hadn’t thought of featuring this movie before, because it has three great old houses to look at: Allie’s, Noah’s, and the old plantation house that served as the nursing home. After posting photos from the Nicholas Sparks tearjerker novel-turned-movie Nights in Rodanthe, requests came pouring in for The Notebook. This bond stood both the test of time and Allie Hamilton's parents desperate disapproval.Welcome to Movie Monday, when I feature the houses from our favorite films. Allie came from an upper-class, wealthy family and was given things like elegant Summer vacations on a plantation and higher-education.Īnd although these two came from two very different backgrounds, they fell madly in love with each other and developed a bond more valuable than money. Noah Calhoun was a mill-worker who came from a very poor family and wasn't given even a fraction of what Allie Hamilton was. This Romantic Drama starring Ryan Gosling ( Noah Calhoun) and Rachel McAdams ( Allie Hamilton) is set in the 1940s and features two young adults who fall deeply in love despite the disapproval of the young lady's parents. The film originated as an adaptation of Nicholas Sparks' 1996 hit novel, The Notebook, and although the story is set in Seabrook, South Carolina, most of the filming happened right here in Charleston! 15 years after its release date, The Notebook continues to be one of the most popular Romantic Drama's of this century.
