☞ REMEMBER: The Royal Tenenbaums House

One of the coolest and quirky films in cinema history chose Harlem's own Hamilton Heights as the location for the featured family's castle of a home.  A recent New York Magazine story talks to director Wes Anderson on the making of the Royal Tenenbaums which was filmed at the landmark townhouse on the corner of 144th Street and Convent Avenue.  The majority of the scenes were actually also shot within the interior or the roof of the house but the kitchen was in reality that of the neighboring home. Read more about the making of the film as told by the director in this current interview: LINK
