The Historic Harris House is a 1902 Victorian treasure with the perfect blend of gothic atmosphere, vintage elegance, and cinematic versatility. This iconic home has been a favorite for productions ranging from horror and haunted house shoots to vampire dramas, werewolf thrillers, classic period pieces, and even holiday films with a warm small-town America feel. Inside, the house brims with dramatic woodwork, antique furnishings, and moody details that create instant production value. The soaring 12 ft. ceilings, ornate plaster walls, chandeliers, and original 1902 floors make it a striking backdrop for everything from eerie suspense to heartfelt nostalgia. The property spans 3,446 sq. ft. across two floors, plus a finished 500 sq. ft. brick basement—a natural set for dark lairs, vintage cellars, or suspenseful sequences. The second level even features a rare 1940s “boarding house” bathroom with dual stalls and showers, ideal for authentic period detail. Filmmakers will appreciate the ability to shoot day-for-night. Heavy blackout curtains and mature trees surrounding the grounds allow total control over lighting, making it easy to stage nighttime scares or shadowy gothic scenes in broad daylight. Whether you’re shooting a horror film dripping with atmosphere, a haunting vampire romance, a supernatural thriller, a turn-of-the-century drama, or a festive Christmas classic, The Historic Harris House offers a unique, immersive canvas for your vision.
