The Simpsons House
Everyone remembers the contest several years ago (1997, I think) sponsored by Fox and Pepsi that involved a real house modeled after the one on The Simpsons. I didn’t realize until we moved here that it was just down the street from Vegas in neighboring Henderson.
Barbara Howard, a 63-year-old retired factory worker from Richmond, Ky., won the four-bedroom, 2,200-square-foot house in 1997 after sending in an entry form from a box of Brisk ice tea.
The house is located 712 Red Bark Lane and has since been repainted. While I don’t blame anyone for it (I couldn’t live in it), it’s kind of sad that the whole point of its existence is gone!

Wow did not know the person who won the contest lived near Vegas. I definitely need to check this out. Thanks for bringing this to our attention.

I couldn’t live in such a colourful building. I would be afraid of waking up in the morning and believing I’m trapped in a Simpsons episode! :-)
I would have turned it into a museum with a shop.

I think the colors would kill me… did they only paint the outside or did they also renew all of that “tasty” furniture?

Too funny - I live in the “Simpson House.” (I tripped across this item while looking up info. regarding the Shark Reef at Mandalay Bay). It cracks me up that people are still interested. YES, we’ve painted (all but the playroom and inside the closets), and NO, I don’t give tours…I do answer the letters that occassionally arrive - usually from Germany or Japan (weird, huh?)…Anyway, just thought I’d drop a few lines since you were all talking about my house!!!

Hi D! That’s awesome! It would be weird to have so many people interested in your house, I can’t even imagine. :D

Didn’t they have the same thing for the “Flintstone” house? At least the outside since the inside was not very detailed?
