The Vacant Peaks series captures fleeting glimpses of buildings, sets, props or details from a place both wonderful and strange. This time, I’m visiting the Hurley residence, home to Big Ed, Nadine, and James.
VACANT PEAKS – HURLEY RESIDENCE FROM TWIN PEAKS
The Hurley home exterior (shot in Washington State) was only briefly seen in the pilot. Most of the scenes at this location took place inside the home (on a set in Van Nuys, California). Interestingly, there were a few shots that used Big Ed’s Gas Farm as an establishing shot before cutting to the interior of the home (see this Setting the Stage article).
The Hurley home contains some of my favorite figurines created by the prop department, including one with an eye patch that resembles Nadine! You can see one of the original props from this set on the Twin Peaks Props site.
