Does anyone know where exactly in Redlands this film was shot? In particular, where is Grandma's House?

Hia
If you look back on the main message board for this movie, someone has posted on this board under the thread title "Saw this movie as a kid" and they said that the movie was filmed in Olive Avenue in their hometown.

The house is just West of McKinley School, Olive and Center St. It belonged to Dan and Mary Smith who brought up their nine children in the house. During filming the movie people paid for a three-week vacation in London free of charge, and when they returned the house was in perfect shape. They were really well treated. I've been all over the house as my family used to join them for Xmas when I was a little kid (I'm 65 now and the Smiths both passed away in their 90s).
It was mixed with footage of a long driveway on extreme East end of Highland Avenue where it deadends giving the impression that the Olive Street house had a Looooong driveway. They shot scenes at RHS pool, various locations downtown and in San Timoteo Canyon.

It looks like a beautiful town....if not extremely quiet. Nothing like that here in England....Those Redwood trees are so amazing to behold.
