Where does George Banks live in Father of the Bride?

George and Nina Banks live in a traditional white house in Father of the Bride that’s a classic American home, white picket fence and all.

In the movie the Banks live at 24 Maple Drive in San Marino, but the house they used for it can actually be found at 843 South El Molino Avenue in Pasadena.

According to Zillow, it last sold for $950,000 in 1999. It’s thought to be worth closer to $3 million today.

Let’s take a look back at the iconic clapboard house and the sets they designed for it!

The “Father of the Bride” House in Pasadena

The movie was actually filmed at two houses.

The other one, located at 500 N. Almansor Street in Alhambra, was used for some of the scenes:

Annie (Kimberly Williams-Paisley) at the top of the stairs.

She has just returned from Rome with some big news — she’s engaged!

The Dining Room:

The Kitchen:

The house was built in 1913 and has 4,339 square feet.

The interiors we see in the movie were sets built on a soundstage.

Note the tile backsplash. It changes in the sequel to a neutral beige tile instead:

The Living Room:

They wake up to snow on the wedding day, and the swans have to be kept warm in the tub.

which was actually behind the other house I told you about, too.

Inside the Wedding Tent in the Backyard:

After the wedding, Nina and George “survey the damage” in the living room:

This was a remake of a popular 1950 film starring Spencer Tracy and Elizabeth Taylor.

Steve Martin’s character is named George Stanley Banks in a nod to the original.
