As "Days of Our Lives" gets ready to say goodbye to Alice Horton, "Days" fans will also be saying goodbye to another part of "Days" which has been around since the first episode on November 8, 1965: The Horton House.
Did You Know? Although the Horton Living Room set has been used since the first episode, there is only one original piece of the set that has been used since then: the doorknob of the front door.
Just before "Days" fans met Alice and Tom Horton in the pilot episode, an exterior shot was seen of 545 Sycamore Street, the home which Alice has lived in since before the show premiered in 1965.
Here is the first time the Horton Living Room is mentioned in the script:
Alice and Tom share their first hug on "Days" in the living room set, November 8, 1965.
Maree Cheatham poses in the living room set for her first promotional
photo as Marie Horton. Notice on the mantle is a picture of Marie and her fiance, Tony Merritt
(Dick Colla). Marie and Tony would become the first failed wedding in "Days" history.
The first "Days" Christmas from December 24, 1965, with Mickey (John Clarke) visiting Alice (Frances Reid).
The flashback was shown on the special Christmas 2001 episode of "Days."
