Has anyone ever visited the house they used for the show? I checked online a while ago and they said it was somewhere in the Mid West. Anyone ever really been to Third Ave and Delaware St?

ive never been there but there is a corner of 3rd and deleware st. in Boone, IA

There's also a corner of Delaware and Third in Evansville, Indiana, which is where some pepole say the show's exteriors -- the Conner house and the Lobo Lounge, etc. -- were shot on still film. I looked it up yesterday in the Evansville phone book that the Toledo-Lucas County Library system's main branch has a copy of (it's in Ohio).:wave:

I found the corner of 3rd and Deleware in Evansville, IN. There is a 714 Delaware street, but it's down the road from 3rd street. But there is a 714 3rd Street and it's right at the corner of 3rd and Delaware. I have a two pictures of the two locations that are from Streets and Tips.

I know they show the street name outside the Lobo. Does anybody know what the name of the street is?

Ignore the previous message, I remembered it was Edgar street and there is an Edgar street in Evansville, near 714 Delaware and 714 3rd. There's a place called Bullock's Tavern on Edgar Street that might possibly be "The Lobo"

You know what be cool????
If some went thair and take some pics of the house and lobo and rodbell and see what it looks like now??? And i wonder if Wellmans is in the same town as the house? And Jackies apaerment and house!!!


Thanks

I keep asking my parents if sometime we could go to Evansville so I could take pictures and everything. I wouldnt know where to look for Rodbells and Jackie's apartment because we never hear the addresses or see the street names.

I would go but i live in Dallas Tx and that is a 10 hour drive! I wond if the house looks the same any more?
Also i like to know if anybody live around evansville in this brord
THanks

Woah, that rox! Thanks

On the other message board (TVTome, incase you're wondering) the guy who took the pictures sais that the house looked pretty bad inside and got sold for around 55,000 dollars. He also said that the owner was payed 500 dollars for the exterior shots

On another traed someone said someone worked on the show and that is how they got the pic's. I cloud be wrong!


Thanks

The writer of the show grew up in Evansville, they payed the owner of the house (who had nothing to do with the show) $500 to take pictures of her house for the show.
The other exterior shots came from there also, the Lobo (according to the link above) is now Top Of The Town, Wellman Plastics was Kent Plastics, etc...

Evansville home used on TV show nets $55,000
By ROGER MCBAIN, Courier & Press staff
July 7, 2004

EVANSVILLE -- In the end, nine years of network television fame -- 16 if you include ongoing reruns -- didn't bring the payoff Anne Noble had hoped for.

The 81-year-old yellow-sided East Side Evansville home featured in opening and transitional shots of television's "Roseanne" show sold at auction Tuesday for $55,000.

Noble grew up in the four-bedroom house her grandfather built in 1923 at 619 S. Runnymeade Ave. She had hoped the home's television fame might boost bidders' interest and help bring at least $75,000 for the house and property, she said. The winning bidder, Dave Clark, expected bidding to go higher as well. "I couldn't believe we got it for that," said the Evansville real estate investor and mortgage company owner. Clark owns several other properties in the neighborhood and lives in the area himself, he said. He intends to rehabilitate the house and put it up for sale. If he can't find a buyer, however, he'll rent the house, as he's done with other homes in the area, he said.

Anne Noble's mother, Jeannette Noble, also grew up in the house Evansville native Matt Williams picked to represent the home of Roseanne and Dan Connor and their children on ABC's "Roseanne." Williams is a University of Evansville graduate who wrote for "The Cosby Show" and later created and produced "Home Improvement." He created and produced "Roseanne" when the show first went on the air in 1988. He later left the show because of disagreements with Roseanne Barr, the show's star.

The Noble home was one of several Evansville images (including the exterior of Kent Plastics and the street sign for Third and Delaware streets) that appeared in establishing shots on "Roseanne." The show was a hit, running from October 1988 to August 1997 on ABC. It continued showing in syndicated reruns. Anne Noble said her mother received a single check for $500 to allow exterior shots of her home to be used on the TV show. She kept a photocopy of the check from the First National Bank of Beverly Hills, Calif., and saved it in an album.

Before her death, in 1996, Jeannette Noble also operated a day care center, Yellow Cottage Day Care, out of her home for 27 years. As part of Wednesday's everything-must-go estate sale, auctioneer Rob Dimmett sold boxes of toys, desks, furniture and other items left over from the day care operation, along with glassware, dishes, holiday decorations, tools, appliances and everything else on the property.

and i called and sopke to the owner and he did NOT know that was the lobo in roseanne! I asked him if he ever saw roseanne and he said YES so i got his email and send him a screen shot of lobo and he was relly HAPPY and Surprise. He told me that it was a bar for a long time and he got it in year 2000 and made it into a pizza shop also he told me he has a big box of pics of the bar. BUt he told me it dose not look like the bar roseanne had on har show he said .

Thanks

That first story came from the Courier Press I believe, I couldn't believe it only went for $55,000, not only is it the Roseanne house, but, for that area, it's a pretty big house, most only have 2 or 3 bedrooms
