The Warner Bros. Ranch (formerly the Columbia Ranch) is a movie ranch located at 411 North Hollywood Way in Burbank, California. Opened in the 1930s, it was used as the backdrop for films and television shows by Columbia Pictures and Warner Bros. Pictures.
The majority of the houses and buildings were originally just facades; Columbia owned and operated the Ranch from 1934 to 1971, when they merged with Warner Bros. Studios Burbank. When Warner Bros. became sole owner of the Lot in 1989, all of the structures were enclosed, with some getting a full interior.
