When it came to the iconic Concord, Mass., home of Louisa May Alcott and the fictional home of the March family, “Little Women” production designer Jess Gonchor set out to create a neighborhood environment that would connect the Laurences’ mansion on one side, and the modest March house on the other. Though Alcott never named where the Marches lived, its commonly accepted that the Orchard House — the historically preserved Alcott home in Concord — was the central location for the original “Little Women.”
In Greta Gerwig’s adaptation of the time-tested family tale, the houses have never been so close — visually, in the film and on set.
Gonchor and his team built a replica of the Orchard House a few hundred yards from an early-1900s mansion that they used for exteriors of the Laurence home. It was the perfect find, with woods and even a pond nearby for the fateful ice-skating scene.
