Welcome to Fantasy Island!

I was at the LA Arboretum this weekend and snapped these pics of the Queen Anne Cottage, the filming location of Fantasy Island. It really hasn't changed in 30 years.
The cottage was constructed in 1881 by Elias Jackson ("Lucky") Baldwin, a California businessman who once owned this land.

Actors Ricardo Montalban and Hervé Villechaize. Mr. Montalban passed away last week at the age of 88. Hervé shot himself in 1993 after suffering from health issues.


The cottage is on the National Register of Historic Places.
