The episode of "Gossip Girl" that filmed in Prospect Park South back in August aired Monday night. The episode was entertaining as usual, but we were pretty disappointed that the real star of the show, 1306 Albemarle Road, didn't get a chance to shine. As it turns out, the home doubled for the dean of Yale's residence in New Haven, Connecticut, so it made perfect sense to use this 1905 Colonial mansion. There were a good amount of interior shots (see below) of the living room and foyer, allowing us to catch a glimpse of one of the home's beautiful stained glass windows. And there were some good shots of the porch during the Serena and Blair fight scene. But where was the establishing shot? All we wanted was one wide shot of the house. What's the point of renting this place out for thousands of dollars and not showing the beautiful exterior? It's not like the home isn't flawless. The "Fringe" director gets it. You show the amazing outside, then you show the lovely inside. If you're just gonna skip the establishing shot, you may as well film in a studio. Oh well. Maybe next time, "Gossip Girl" crew. Until then, here's what we got:
Also, this home is STILL FOR SALE! For only $2.35 million! What are you waiting for? This thing has been on the CW!!! If that's not historic I don't know what is.
