In the 1930s, Oswald "Ozzie" Nelson and Harriet Nelson became famous on the radio show, The Baker's Broadcast. In 1944, they launched their own radio show, The Adventures of Ozzie and Harriet which later became a well-known sitcom by the same name that ran on television from 1952 to 1966. The house on the set was modeled after their real home, which would eventually develop a reputation for being haunted.
The Nelson house is located on 1822 Camino Palmero Street in Los Angeles' Hollywood Hills. It was built in 1916, for a prominent Los Angeles businessman Harold G. Feraud, on a sloping half-acre parcel in the exclusive Las Colinas Heights subdivision. Architects Frank Kegley and H. Scott Gerity designed it in a colonial revival style.
