Similar to the Johnson House, the Hayward House had two film locations in Twin Peaks. The Pilot Episode and Twin Peaks – Fire Walk With Me used a home in Everett, Washington. The exterior of the home in Seasons 1 and 2 was shot in southern California with interiors captured on a set. But through the magic of television, we are lead to believe the home is located in Washington State.
HOME ADDRESS
In Episode 2018, Donna Hayward receives a postcard from James Hurley. The address for the Hayward House is 552 Oak Street, Twin Peaks, WA 55219. But in the “Twin Peaks Access Guide to the Town,” the house is located on the corner of Church Lane and Owl Street.
In reality, the home is located at 101 East Hillcrest Boulevard in Monrovia, California. The approximate coordinates are 34°09’35.5″N 118°00’03.5″W.
This spot is just down the street from the former Monrovia Bakery that was used for Wagon-Wheel Do-Nuts, a deleted scene location from Season 1.
ESTABLISHING SHOTS
The first time we see the California location is in Episode 1001. James Hurley’s motorcycle is seen parked outside while he is enjoying some fruit punch inside.
I first visited the house on July 13, 2010 during a brief trip to California. The trees had grown quite a lot since the episode was shot in 1990.
A similar establishing shot is used again in Episode 1007
Here’s another look at the house circa 2012 courtesy of Google Maps Street View.
LAKEVIEW DRIVE SIGN
Most shots of the Hayward House in Seasons 1 and 2 were shown at night, except for one scene. In Episode 2017, the house is shown during the day.
Here’s a similar shot from July 2010.
I returned in January 2013 for a winter shot of the house.
Interestingly, the street sign in the show that indicates the house is on Lakeview Drive. That street doesn’t exist in Monrovia, California. The street where the actual house resides has been named Hillcrest Boulevard since at least the 1940s if not early (the Old Maps of Los Angeles website confirmed this fact). Most likely, the crew added the street sign for this particular shot.

Like so many other Twin Peaks film locations, I must give credit to Charles and Travis from InTwinPeaks.com. Here is the page about their southern California adventure from the now closed website.
