The Indiana Home that Inspired a Christmas Story
Each year, about 40 million people watch A Christmas Story. For many, watching the movie is a holiday tradition, and the infamous scenes can be recited verbatim. But as building professionals, our team is interested in how the house itself inspired the plot. For example, would Ralphie have looked as ridiculous wearing his bunny suit if he was standing in the corridor of a split-level home instead of on the stairs of a Victorian home? Would there have been as much drama while Ralphie was decoding the secret message if the house had a second bathroom and his family wasn’t banging on the door? A new infographic of A Christmas Story House breaks down the floor plan and maps out the location of some of the most memorable scenes.
