Macefield bought the home for her mother in 1952, though in one interview she said it was 1955. She told the Seattle Post-Intelligencer that she moved into the home in 1966. Macefield lived in the home until her death there on June 15, 2008, from pancreatic cancer.

The "Up" story was developed before the Ballard Blocks building started construction, and at least two years before Macefield received the $750,000 buyout offer. When did people start associating the house with "Up?"As part of a May 2009 marketing event to promote the movie, Disney paid to have dozens of balloons tied to the top of Macefield's house, and that made headlines across the country. In the movie, the curmudgeonly main character Carl Fredricksen refused to sell his home to developers. He and a boy took a ride to South America after tying hundreds of balloons to his house.

What is the famous line from the movie Up?

In March 1954, Clarence “Buck” Stahl and Carlotta May Gates drove from Los Angeles to Las Vegas and got married in a chapel. They each worked in aviation (Buck in sales, Carlotta as a receptionist), had previous marriages, and were strapping, tall, and extremely good looking—California Apollonians out of central casting. Back home in L.A., as the newlyweds pondered their future, they became preoccupied with a promontory of land jutting out like the prow of a ship from Woods Drive in the Hollywood Hills, about 125 feet above Sunset Boulevard. It was as conspicuous as it was forbidding, visible from the couple’s house on nearby Hillside Avenue. “This lot was in pure view—every morning, every night,” Carlotta Stahl recalled.

Tourists from all over the world used to come here and take selfies. I have been in the area a lot in the last few months and I barely ever saw anyone even looking at the house. If you are not from the neighborhood, you probably don’t know the story behind the house and assume it’s just an old house sitting there to rot. Edith Macefield moved into the Whitewood Cottage in 1952 and lived there until she passed away from cancer, aged 86. She was married four times and outlived all of her husbands and even her only son, who died from spinal meningitis at age 13.

It’s far from what it used to look like when Edith Macfield lived in the house and kept it all tidy. The “Up” house in Utah is a charming replica of the fictional house in Pixar’s animated film “Up”. This film tells the heartwarming story of an elderly man named Carl Fredricksen, who uses thousands of helium balloons to lift his house and fly to South America, fulfilling a promise he made to his late wife to visit Paradise Falls. If you loved the movie as much as we did and the inspiring message it shared, a visit to the Real Up House in Utah should be on your list of things to do in Utah.

He is the Seattle real-estate broker hired by the bank, American IRA LLC, to handle the transfer of the house and an eventual sale of the remaining 1,550-square-foot lot. Not only was the exterior the same as the film, but the interior is an exact replica of the home in the movie. All of Carl’s belongings, the two famous chairs in the front room, pictures of Ellie on the mantle, and completed with the murals in the nursery and above the fireplace of the home on top of Paradise Falls. “Up” is a bit cagey with the calendar, but it lets us peek into the 1930s through young Carl’s eyes before whisking us away to what seems like the 21st century.

Thanks, Edith.

That was seven years before Ballard, then a separate city, became part of Seattle. Follow this link to see photo of the inside of Edith Macefield's former home. Embark on an imaginative adventure with the LEGO Disney and Pixar ‘Up’ House, a vibrant and meticulously detailed building toy set inspired by the cherished animated film “Up”. Perfect for Disney enthusiasts and creative builders aged and above, this classic set offers a delightful construction experience that captures the magic of the beloved movie. Featuring colorful LEGO bricks and iconic elements, the set recreates the whimsical flying house owned by the adventurous character Carl Fredricksen, complete with the plethora of balloons that lift it skyward. Adorned with small details such as the weather vane, porch, and mailbox, this set ensures an enchanting build that brings the heartwarming story to life.

Lynette, the current owner of the Up house and a big Disney fan, is sharing her families adventures on her blog “The Real Up House” and sells her artworks there as well. GoodThingsGuy was officially launched on the 1 August 2015 in order to only promote good news, inspirational stories and promote only positive, upbeat media. When Barry cleaned up the house he found that the many stories Edith told where true and wrote a book, called Under One Roof, about their relationship and the lessons he learned.

The reason the house is known as the “Up” house is because the story of Edith’s home and her fight is pretty much the same as Carl Fredricksen from the movie Up. It was rumored that the movie was inspired by the real house but apparently writers started with the script for Up in 2004 which was two years before the developer approached Edith about her house in 2006. While the construction of the mall was happening, protective walls were built around the house and an unlikely friendship with the Construction Manager Barry Martin developed.

In addition to McVay and general manager Les Snead, the draft house will typically have celebrity guests. Eric Dickerson, Rebel Wilson, Erin Andrews and Brody Jenner were photographed at the venue in 2021. The agency was working with Washington police to protect demonstrators' right to assemble, Guglielmi said.

You might be thinking, “What could Olivia Wilde’s nude scenes possibly have in common with the Up House? ” Well, just like certain roles that require actors like Olivia to bare it all, the Up House lays its heart on its sleeve, fully exposing the spirit of adventure and vulnerability that comes with flying through life’s unpredictable skies. While we’re all about capturing the essence of things, some essences are best left uncaptured.

But after Carl discovers an 8-year-old stowaway named Russell, this unlikely duo soon finds themselves on a hilarious journey in a lost world filled with danger and surprises. Then he left, first to buy socks for the empty closet in his lonely apartment, then to go find a movie he had never heard of, that people believed was inspired by a house just an accidental U-turn away. The most intriguing was a mother-daughter pie shop that would have had stained-glass windows with etchings of balloons. But city officials kept denying the mother-daughter team permits.

When she watched on social media as pro-Palestinian students set up an encampment in solidarity with other campuses protesting the war in Gaza, she felt called to action. On Tuesday, Trump left the Manhattan courthouse where he’s attending his criminal trial and headed uptown to Trump Tower. There, he had a meeting with former Japanese prime minister Taro Aso.

Whether as a thoughtful gift for a Disney fan or as a way to spend quality time immersed in a creative project, this LEGO ‘Up’ House set is a wonderful tribute to the spirit of exploration and the bonds of friendship that ‘Up’ so beautifully portrayed. Disney Pixar featured the house in a promotion for its UP movie. For a long time, the fence was carrying dozens of balloons, some of them with wishes and greetings for the house. During my visit in August of 2020, there were only a few ballons on the fence.

A family of four lives here and are making memories, growing, and enjoying life’s adventures every day. However, we do believe in magic, please scroll down to find out what is allowed at our home. Although Disney began scriptwriting and production of “Up” long before Macefield’s story became known, tourists and locals visit the house and tie balloons to the fence as a little gesture in her honor and memory. In the middle of Ballard’s neighborhood in Seattle, you can find a small house surrounded by tall buildings, just like the protagonist in Pixar’s 2009 film “Up.” And the story of the house’s owner is eerily similar to the protagonist’s from the movie.

Ellie is an exuberant, adventurous girl who dreams of exploring the world. She and Carl first bond over their shared admiration for legendary explorer Charles F. Muntz. They pledge to travel together to Paradise Falls—the world's tallest waterfall, deep in the South American rainforest. As the couple settle into their married life, their grandiose plans are set aside as they navigate the ups and downs of their everyday lives. “One thing I find incredibly aggravating is that several entrepreneurs encountered resistance from the city, and yet all over the city there are developers who raze single-family homes and build big towering apartments,” Thomas said.
