Someone has finally snatched up the historic Redfield Mansion property, the towering stone house at 370 Mt Rose. You can see a tour of the property here.
Congrats to the buyer! They bought it for $848,000. This house is beyond amazing, and is set up to be a duplex or can be tweaked to be a single residence.
the last scene of "there will be blood" was filmed in the bowling alley in the basement!
Wow! I didn't realize the Redfield Mansion here in Reno, NV, was one in the same with the Greystone Mansion in Beverly Hills, CA...
You are thinking of the Gamble house.
"But there's one room in the house -- a partially subterranean, two-lane bowling alley --that hadn't made it onto the big screen until Paul Thomas Anderson featured it in "There Will Be Blood," his epic saga that opened this week about an oil prospector in turn-of-the-century California." - A story about Greystone Mansion in the LA Times (http://articles.latimes.com/2007/dec/27/home/hm-blood27) But you're right, I'm thinking of Doc Brown's house in Pasadena, and the LA Times doesn't know the difference between a mansion in their hometown, and one over 500 miles away.
The scene was filmed in the basement of the redfield mansion, local press was tying to keep it under wraps, given the recent closure of starlite bowl and the severe shortage of local bowling opportunities.
I'm sorry, but I find it VERY unbelieveable that a business that makes money by making movies would allocate in their budget for a film the funds to acquire permits, transportation of cast and equipment over 500 miles twice, and the setup and teardown of a single set, with all due respect, an unknown mansion, all for one single scene in a movie. Who knows, maybe the producers were living in a world of "alternative facts".
I've been in the basement of the red field mansion and I will tell you for a fact that there is not enough room for a bowling alley.

I hope they saved enough on the purchase price they can afford to do some seismic retrofitting.
