Here is stately Wayne Manor as it appeared in the 1966 Batman theatrical film. That's Alfred (Alan Napier) on the lawn. Tons of exterior stock footage were shot around the house, for both the film and the series.
All the interiors — like the Batpole entrance with the Shakespeare bust in the study, all the Aunt Harriet stuff, and of course the stuff taking place beneath it in the Batcave — were shot on various soundstages. (Sorry, kids, the Batcave was not really under stately Wayne Manor.)
Its stately address: 380 S. San Rafael Drive in Pasadena. According to Google Maps, it is 2,537 miles from my driveway.
Nice digs. But don't bother trying to find it. It burned down in October of 2005.
