"A Christmas Story" House

In 1983, Cleveland was abuzz about "A Christmas Story," the film being shot downtown at Public Square and in Higbee's Department Store and at various locations in the Tremont neighborhood. The film, which went on to become a holiday classic, tells the story about a typical family and their young son's dreams for the holidays.

This year, the excitement continues in Cleveland as the "Christmas Story" house, the actual house where the movie was filmed, welcomes visitors. The Tremont house, now owned by "Christmas Story" fan and Leg Lamp distributor, Brian Jones, has been restored to its "original" 1983 condition. Visitors can tour the house, the yard, and the "Christmas Story" museum across the street.
