On the final Friday of every month in 2021, Limelight Magazine spotlights the filming location site(s) we visited for some of our favorite (and not so favorite) films and TV shows. Today we spotlight one of the filming locations for Benson, which aired on ABC from September 13, 1979, to April 19, 1986. The top photo is a screen shot taken from the TV show while the photo underneath is what the location looks like when we visited the location.

The filming location used for exterior shots of the “governor’s mansion” is located at 1365 South Oakland Avenue in Pasadena, California.
