Family House

The Family House, Old County Road 172 and driveway.

When you click on the thumbnails, there is more description and references to what you're seeing as compared to the movie.

These photos are of the road, now called Old Country Road 172.

These are pictures of the driveway that lead to the house.

These shots of the front yard were taken while standing in the middle of the driveway.

This is a shot of the left side of the front yard, taken while standing at what was once the front porch of the house.

The stone foundation columns are still standing about 1 1/2 feet high. The back door stairs remain as well.

When we arrived at the site, the ground that was under the house was still moist as compared to the rest of the ground that was dry.

I really think that we missed seeing the house by a couple of days before it was moved.

Here's some shots from the back yard. Included, are the stairs and the gate.

These were taken between the shed/watertower and the house, behind and to the right of the house.

And further back...

They made a recent pilgrimage to the film locations. Here's Old CR172 on Quick Hill, a part of the foundation of the house for the plumbing, looking north on Quick Hill - where the house used to be, and looking back west to Old CR172.

Will made a pilgrimage to Quick Hill and took these shots in January of 2004.
A shot looking from the east side of Quick Hill. Another shot looking from the east side of Quick Hill. Looking towards the area of the Dry Creek bed. Standing on Hester's Crossing, looking up old CR 172. Beginning of old CR 172 before it was cut off from the rest of the road by Hester's Crossing. Intersection of new CR 172 and Hester's Crossing, where old CR 172 starts. Behind the house location, on the east side of the hill looking west. To the right is SH 45. Southwest corner of the property. The house location is to the left and SH 45 is behind me. A few yards behind where the house sat approximately. I'm not sure what the posts are for. Right behind where the house location is. Maybe part of the old shed or old barn up against the cattle pen? Looking east down SH 45 toward new CR 172. Up on the right is the house location and the fence that I jumped. Standing at the top of old CR 172 looking north. I believe the driveway is just to my right and can be seen somewhat in the picture.
The gate I had to climb over on top of old CR 172. Standing up at top of old CR 172, looking down toward new CR 172. Standing at the bottom of old CR 172 looking up.
Looking down what appears to be the old driveway towards the house site. Looking north at what would have been the right side of the house. A few more pics. #1 & #2.

Here are 2 shots of the back yard gate from TCM. My wife, a friend and I took the gate from Quick Hill. Included is a scene shot from TCM to compare the gate we took to the same gate in the film. For a story about us taking the gate from Quick Hill, click here.

1.) Quick Hill 2 -- View from rear of hill. It's really grown since the last time you were there, I would imagine. There's a hotel down at the bottom of the hill and much residential growth.

2.) Quick Hill 3 (Altar) -- A strange bone-and-metal altar someone made at the top of the hill.

3.) Quick Hill 4 (Car) -- Car's still there.

4.) Quick Hill 5 (Driveway) -- The driveway looking out towards Old 172. By the way, Old 172 has been shut off from the main road and SH 45 construction is only about 30-40 feet away from the driveway now. Depressing but true. (You can see on the left side of pic.)

5.) Quick Hill 6 (Old 172) -- The old road down the hill.

6.) Quick Hill 7 (House Waterworks???) -- This was an old concrete waterworks that was maybe?? connected to the house?? The steps were nowhere in sight.

Dave visited Quick Hill, the original spot where the house used to be. Now, there's just a concrete slab left where the plumbing used to be. But now, it's marked. ;)
