The
Newnan Times-Herald reports two locations in
Newnan, Georgia, are in the the pre-production phase, preparing to film soon for the upcoming film,
The House with a Clock in its Walls:
The downtown historic commercial building on 8 East Washington St. is being transformed from a pink and green building to black and white to depict a 1950s candy store. The retail space is vacant.
Just a couple of blocks from downtown Newnan on Greenville Street, the Victorian Parrott-Camp-Soucy House has been painted black and surrounded by faux columns and stones.
Local sources claim both locations are sets for the film, “The House with a Clock in its Walls,” starring Cate Blanchett and Jack Black.
The historic home was built in 1842 and started out as a Greek Revival built by Confederate surgeon Abraham North, according to www.oldhousedreams.com, a website that highlights historic real estate that would appeal to the semi-purist and purists.
The home was rebuilt Victorian-style in the 1880s and underwent restoration in the 1980s. The film, “The Odd Life of Timothy Green,” was also filmed here.
