    Above Falls Lake - Beethoven Houses 

    The main backyard sets for the movie (see stills below) were built on grass land just above Falls Lake in an area that's off the main route of the Studio Tour tram.
    The sets are still there to this day, but are more overgrown now. The main Newton House set was designed / painted to match the front of the family residence, which was filmed on location in South Pasadena at 1405 Milan Avenue (thanks to Lindsy's blog 'I Am Not A Stalker' for this information.
