Rhoda’s Apartment on MTM

I did adore Nancy Walker

Virtual tour.

The exterior shots of the apartment building don't match what we see in the interior shots.

IIRC, the exterior shots show Mary's apartment being on the top floor; you can see something off to the side (same level) that looks like Rhoda's apartment.

The interior shots show a staircase just outside of Mary's front door that leads up to Rhoda's apartment.

Don't forget the etc, OP.

Mary’s place is on the third floor with the little wrought iron railing potted plant balcony.

How do you go up from there?

R3, are you referring to that turret? (What is that really called in architecture?) That should be where Mary’s bathroom is!

I believe they used two different houses for the exterior. The one show on R5 does not show the attic on upper floor.

“Up to Rhoda’s”

Maybe the back of the house had a little space?

I like blueprints.

So groovy

Mary’s apartment had vaulted, beamed ceilings. Rhoda’s could not be directly above it.

Guests pictured for r4.

And this is my date...Mr. and Mrs. Armand Linton.

R5 "What is that really called in architecture?"

A turret.

Of course Phyllis stuck the Jew in the attic.

Lou lived, briefly, in Rhoda's apartment.

Did Phyllis and Rhoda really deserve their own spinoffs?

Rhoda, yes (spinoff). Not sure about Phyllis.

How can this be? It's not like this was just a television show dreamed up by writers... it was its own fully fleshed-out reality!

Rhoda kept the purple and red but ditched the pink when she moved back to NYC. She also lost all the boho charm and sensational clutter. Like her apartment, they made Rhoda too bland when she got her spin-off.

Rhoda didn’t want to scare off Joe.

Maybe she was in a Fonzi apartment above the garage in the back of the house?

Hun, hate to break it to you, but it was a set in a studio without a fourth wall.

She *did* have the Dear World window card though, r18!

That was in her second apartment, R22.

Add some gilded wallpaper plus a circular sectional and you’ve got Jeannie’s bottle.

Where was her kitchenette?

What was behind the area separated by the beads?

Is that a small entry with a bathroom off the side?

She was so pretty.

I loved when women wore soft dressed like the one she is wearing in the photo with Lou Grant.

^^dresses

Was the kitchenette stainless? I can't cook on anything not stainless.

In 1971 every young person in America wanted Mary's apartment.

^ Especially Rhoda in episode one.

Well, if you couldn't have Mary's apartment, you could at least have your first initial hanging on the wall.

Rhoda’s apartment looks like where a slut gets laid!

I wonder what that would have looked like, the colors in Rhoda’s apartment made it appear so dark compared to the coloring in Mary’s sunlit apartment
