Question: Where in Texas can you find a Victorian home modeled after that depicted in the 1960s TV show The Munsters?

Answer: Waxahachie. Owners Charles and Sandra McKee have spent nearly a decade transforming their home on 1313 Mockingbird Lane into a near-perfect replica of the Munster family’s house from the popular TV show. Without original blueprints, they created a floor plan by watching all 70 episodes of the show. The house includes key features such as the coffin-shaped phone booth and the iconic staircase that hides the Munsters’ fire-breathing pet. The mansion is only open for tours during a Halloween charity event, with future plans to expand tour availability. Cast members from the original show, such as Al Lewis and Butch Patrick, have attended these events. The McKees aim to age and distress the exterior to more closely match the original TV set’s appearance.
