Description: The Simpsons' Cartoon House, also known as the "Springfield House," is a pop culture landmark inspired by the long-running animated television series "The Simpsons." Located in Henderson, Nevada, the house is a real-life replica of the iconic home belonging to the Simpson family in the show. Constructed in 1997 by Fox Broadcasting Company and Kaufman & Broad Home Corporation, the house was part of a promotional contest held by the network. The winner of the contest would receive the house, along with other prizes. The exterior of the house faithfully replicates the colorful and whimsical design of the Simpsons' home, complete with its distinctive pink hue, blue roof, white picket fence, and recognizable features such as the chimney and bay windows. While the exterior faithfully resembles the cartoon house, the interior of the real-life replica is not an exact match to the animated series. The house features a traditional floor plan and decor rather than the exaggerated, comedic layout seen in the show. After the contest, the house underwent some modifications to return it to a more conventional design before being sold. Despite its real-world location and status as a private residence, the Simpsons' Cartoon House continues to attract fans of the show who visit the neighborhood to catch a glimpse of the iconic facade. While visitors cannot tour the interior of the house, the exterior serves as a nostalgic reminder of one of television's most beloved animated families.
