 In 2005, the original home used for the exterior shots of the family  home was put up for auction on eBay and avid fan of the movie Brian  Jones managed to purchase the home directly from the seller for  $150,000.00 USD. Jones then spent the following year restoring the  home to the way it looked on screen. The exterior of the home was  completely restored and the interior was renovated to match the  interior of the home shown in the movie. (Parts of the interior was  actually filmed in a Toronto studio) On November 25th, 2006, the  famous home finally opened its doors as a tourist attraction. Jones  spent close to $500,000.00 USD in preparation for this grand  opening. In addition, Jones also purchased the house next door and  converted it to a gift shop and museum dedicated to the film and the  house.
