The Salvatore house, featured in “The Vampire Diaries,” was sold and then demolished.
In the context of the television show “The Vampire Diaries,” the Salvatore Boarding House was a central location, serving as the home for many of the characters. However, in real life, the house used for the exterior shots of the Salvatore home is known as the Glenridge Hall mansion, located in Sandy Springs, Georgia. After the show gained popularity, the mansion became a landmark for fans.
Despite its newfound fame, the Glenridge Hall mansion faced a different fate. In 2015, the property was sold to a developer. The sale led to the demolition of the historic mansion to make way for a new residential development. This decision was met with disappointment by fans of the show and preservationists who wished to see the historic structure retained. The loss of the mansion was a significant one, as it was not only a piece of television history but also a part of Georgia’s architectural heritage, having been built in the 1920s.
