Hey Paul----when I first started making miniature replicas of the buildings in Mayberry, (you can see two of them at _www.mayberrybuildings.com_ (http://www.mayberrybuildings.com) ), I noticed quickly that you can't pay too much attention to the set exteriors and interiors. They don't match up. If you look face on at the court house front, you will see that the building ends just past the left window. There is no room for the cells. They would be right where Floyd's Barbershop sits. For the same reason, there could be no alley outside cell #2 and no window for that cell. The window to Otis's cell actually faces the back of the building. And Andy's house has a similar problem. Face on, the house ends just left of the front door. No room for the staircase that leads upstairs, and little room for Barney's "hanging" closet. Go in the front door and the fireplace wall is directly across the living room facing you. the dining area is to your right, and the kitchen is to the front of the dining area. That means the kitchen window over the stove would be those high windows you see on the right side of the front porch. And the back door actually would exit to the side of the house at the driveway! This got fixed in the color episodes when they moved the back door and stretched the kitchen set somewhat. And every house in town is across the street from the church (there was only one full residential street at the Back 40 Mayberry set). I learned to just ignore all this when watching the show. After all, the joy is in the illusion these folks created when they gave us Mayberry, which is really a magic place locked in time. Jimmy Dean
