House from 'A Christmas Story' to become tourist stop

October 9, 2006 -- Souvenirs will be available in the gift shop across the street.

House from 'A Christmas Story' to become tourist stop CLEVELAND (AP) - The Cleveland house where the film "A Christmas Story" was shot will open as a tourist attraction November 25th.

Brian Jones has painted the exterior of the house and gutted the inside to match the look of the home where Ralphie lived in the 1983 movie.

Jones is still searching for a claw-foot tub and a pull-chain toilet to finish the 1940s look of the upstairs bathroom.

Jones also bought the house across the street, which will serve as a ticket office, museum and gift shop. There will be plenty of leg lamps for sale.
