That location had been used for both interiors and exteriors in season one, and was almost a character by itself. As we were confronted with the confounding challenges of getting a paddlewheel, it was now necessary to replicate a signature interior on stage, directly matching a house with many idiosyncrasies. We tried to figure out how to shoot around the exterior of the house, because the porch had been shot several times during the first season. Designs were developed for the interior of the main floor of the house, plus the master bedroom, which was also needed. Because of limited stage space, a plan was devised to flip the living room area to the master bedroom by adding a wall through the center of that living/ dining room area to create an alternate space. The front porch was also finished out so that scenes could be shot on the porch looking directly toward the house wall.
