Sorrell's House

[Meadowmufn]

I was doing some research on Sorrell Booke and fell down a rabbit hole when I discovered he used to live in Pacific Palisades. My thoughts immediately went to wondering if his house was still standing after the wildfires in 2025.

Sadly, the answer is no. I was thinking of posting this on the HazzardNet Facebook page, but it's kind of sad so I'm not sure. Thoughts?

I read John Schieders recent book, Livining "My Life My Way" John talked about how Sorrell would sometimes host the cast at his home in Sherman Oaks. John also mentioned in the book that Sorrell would show up to work at WB, and he drove an old Volvo. I guess Sorrell had more than one house.

That is pretty sad. I'm the type who gets attached to things and this brings back memories of how sad I felt when the original Dukes farmhouse in Georgia got tore down. It was nice of the owners grandson to join HazzardNet and keep us updated. 

These pictures are a little odd though. I wonder why the new driveway veers off to the right like that.

He passed away in Sherman Oaks, so he may have moved or had more than one house. His Sherman Oaks home was sold in August of 1994, 6 months after he passed. The Sherman Oaks home looked to be on a much bigger lot and had a pool.

Oops. That's because I screenshot the wrong house... the one across the street. This is the correct house. It looks like one of them, either the Google Maps or the LA county fire site has it flipped.

I figured his house would have more of a " Wow" factor to it. He was surely worth a lot....unless he was like a lot od stars and was creless.

My guess is that after season 7 Hughie finally came up with a plan that actually worked and swindled all his uncle's money.

His house in Sherman Oaks was on almost half an acre and had a pool.
