From the grim orphanages of the Depression to the glass towers of modern Manhattan, the filming locations of Annie prove that no matter the era, the sun will always come out tomorrow in New York City.
{ "location": "Oheka Castle", "address": "135 W Gate Dr, Huntington, NY 11743", "scenes": ["Will Stacks’ mansion interior/exterior"], "accessible": false, "coordinates": [40.8584, -73.4417], "movie_timestamp": "00:23:15 – 00:27:40", "fun_fact": "The staircase alone cost $500k to replicate on set." }
The 1982 film production primarily utilized massive historic locations across New Jersey and specialized backlots in Southern California to recreate Depression-era New York City.
Instead of an orphanage, Annie lives in a foster home run by the mean-spirited Miss Hannigan. The exterior of the house is a real building in Harlem.
