Filming location for the original Texas Chainsaw Massacre
Actually, this house, while very similar to the TCM house (they were both "pattern book" or kit homes sold from a catalog, accounting for the similarities), is most likely the Burkland-Frisk house, aka "the sister house" referred to in this article: http://texaschainsawmassacre.net/Sist...
The biggest difference is the absence of the dual chimneys atop the high-peaked center roof as seen in this still from the movie: https://i.imgur.com/ierSZIA.jpg as well as in this production still: https://thetexaschainsawmassacre.com/...
Photos of both houses as they appear now can be seen at http://www.thennowmovielocations.com/... and https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Texas_C...
But fear not! The actual house does appear in Photo 88-EWL-25 at https://vintageaerial.com/photos/texa...
In addition to the dual chimneys, take a look at this undated photo: https://i.imgur.com/EhlwXy0.jpg The damage to the roof shingles perfectly matches the roof in Photo 88-EWL-25. The driveway on the north side of the house matches what's seen in the movie, as well as the barn further back behind the house. Additionally, note that the damage to the left side ornamental trim above the two second floor windows matches this still from the movie: https://i.imgur.com/ierSZIA.jpg
Finally, notice the house in this photo (Photo 88-EWL-24) doesn't even have the ornamental trim as seen in the images above.
