Remember that house the Tenenbaum clan lived in on "Archer" avenue—and that Owen Wilson's character eventually rammed his car into? It's on 144th and Convent in Sugar Hill, and ended up being a pretty spectacular deal for the owner who, director Wes Anderson told New York Magazine, "got the house, ultimately, at no cost, because our fees for shooting there ended up being the equivalent of what he paid for it." Note to self: If we ever manage to snag a strange old house, remember to shop it around to location scouts ASAP.
