If you still find yourself wondering about the majestic brownstone Wes Anderson used as the setting of his 2001 film Royal Tenenbaums, you're in luck. As part of its online film travel series "Pop Pilgrims", the A.V. Club visited the New York City spot, and spoke to the movie's location scout Will Sweeney about how the house inspired Anderson's Oscar-nominated script, why it required a dramatic remodeling, and why the roof was perfect for Anderson's (short-lived) fascination with falconry.
