The Vandamm House is a setting in the Hitchcock movie North by Northwest. Its modern architecture was inspired by the real house Fallingwater which was designed by Frank Lloyd Wright. In the movie, the Vandamm House is located near Mount Rushmore but it was not actually built. The interiors were shot on a set constructed in an MGM studio in Culver City by Robert F. Boyle while the exterior shots used a matte painting.[1][2]
