Dennis The Menace

The TV series “Dennis the Menace,” which ran from 1959 to 1963, was set in a fictional neighborhood located at the Warner Bros. Ranch in Burbank, California. The Warner Ranch lot was separate from the main Warner backlot and was not open to public tours. The entire ranch was demolished in 2023, with sound stages taking over the space.

The Mitchell house was the original home exterior featured on the show, although it had some remodeling. It was one of the few original sets on the ranch, having survived previous fires on the grounds. It has since been demolished.

The Wilson house was located next door, but the original set was lost in a fire in 1970. It was eventually rebuilt and this was how the facade appeared up to the time of demolition.

The Elkins house was likewise burned in the 1970 fire and rebuilt. Here is how it appears prior to demolition. The same facade was used in the 1970s TV series “The Partridge Family” and the film “The Monster Squad.”
