While getting ready to shoot for the film 'Moving' with Richard Prior, Blondie street was enhanced and altered. Not only was the Higgins house majorly altered, the street turn, around the Bel Air/Pear house (towards the new Church), was covered up to extend the Higgins house lawn. New trees were also planted between the sidewalk and curb along the street. While the street curve in front of the Pear house was restored after filming wrapped up, some of the trees were left, causing them to block the view of the houses in later years.

Forgot to post this last week!

Exactly 55 years ago, on August 10th 1970, the Partridge Family house burned, along with the entire Convent set and the Church on Blondie Street. It was the 3rd devastating fire in less that 8 months on the Ranch.

'Once Upon a Time'
A magnificent wide view of the Higgins House and the corner Church on Blondie street, Columbia Ranch, circa 1964.

I posted a large format of it for all to enjoy :)
