Original Brady Bunch House

Brady Bunch House Today

I was fortunate to have grown up 2 blocks away from the Brady Bunch House in Studio City.

It's still fun to see and I remember when the cast & crew were there, in the late 1960's, filming the exterior scenes. I was about 6 so it was fun to see the "kids."
