The Tremaine Manor[nb 1] is a New Enchanted Forest location featured on ABC's Once Upon a Time. It first appears in the first episode of the seventh season.
The Tremaine manor is based on Cinderella's home from the fairytale "Cinderella," and on the mansion from the Disney film Cinderella.
History
In the New Enchanted Forest, after Rapunzel makes a deal with a witch to ensure her family's happiness, resulting in her imprisonment in a tower, her husband Marcus and daughters Anastasia and Drizella come to reside in this manor. Following Marcus's remarriage to a woman named Cecelia, she and her daughter Ella also begin living in this manor with Marcus and his daughters. ("One Little Tear")
Six years after Rapunzel's disappearance, Anastasia releases floating lanterns into the sky in hopes it will guide her mother back to them, though it is Drizella who comes up with the initial idea of using the lanterns. Rapunzel, who escaped the tower, follows the lanterns to the manor, only to discover Marcus is now remarried to Cecelia. Despite the awkwardness of the situation, Rapunzel is allowed to stay and work in the manor as a servant in order to be with her daughters. One afternoon at the manor, Rapunzel's daughters come to visit her. Rapunzel runs out of tea for them, and though Anastasia quickly assures her it's fine because they came to see her, Drizella quietly admits she is thirsty. When Marcus arrives to pick up his daughters, Rapunzel speaks to him privately about her strained relationship with her girls. Marcus is certain Anastasia adores her, however, Rapunzel is concerned Drizella is distant with her, even with Marcus' suggestion that Drizella needs time to adjust as she was too young when Rapunzel disappeared. Later in Rapunzel's room, she receives her old cloak from Marcus, who kept it during the years while she was gone. She asks him if he still loves her, and Marcus admits he does but he is committed to Cecelia and Ella. After Marcus leaves, Gothel visits a distraught Rapunzel, offering her a mushroom to poison Cecelia and reclaim what is hers. Rapunzel angrily rejects the offer, proclaiming she would never hurt an innocent person, however, Gothel leaves the mushroom for her anyway. During Drizella's birthday party on the manor grounds as Rapunzel is serving guests, Cecelia tries to persuade her not to work on her daughter's birthday. Rapunzel talks to Marcus about Drizella's lukewarm reaction to her gift and her continued perception that she is an outcast around her own family. Upon overhearing Drizella thank Cecelia for her present by calling her "Mother," a jealous Rapunzel crushes the mushroom's juices into Cecelia's drink. This forces Cecelia to flee to New Wonderland, allowing Rapunzel to regain her place in the family. ("Pretty in Blue," "One Little Tear," "Secret Garden")
After Anastasia nearly dies after falling into a frozen lake, with her last breath preserved by Gothel, Rapunzel blames Marcus and murders him with the help of a prince. She then gains the title of Lady Tremaine and makes Ella the servant of the manor, nicknaming her "Cinderella." ("The Garden of Forking Paths," "One Little Tear")
As punishment for helping Cinderella, Lady Tremaine captures her fairy godmother, bringing her to the manor while she is unconscious. The fairy wakes up to the realization she is handcuffed and her wings are now gone, which Tremaine mentions cutting off earlier. Drizella, dressed up for the prince's royal ball, enters to observe what is going on, and upon seeing her mother holding the fairy's wand, excitedly asks if she can use it. Tremaine chides her for the request and reminds her real power comes from fear because it lasts forever unlike magic which can be taken. However, Tremaine still tests out the wand out of curiosity of what it can do, with Drizella flinching as the burst of magic causes the fairy to be obliterated to a pile of dust. Tremaine then suggests that if Cinderella ever returns home, Drizella can tell her to clean up the mess. ("Hyperion Heights")
After framing him and Cinderella for the Prince's death, Lady Tremaine holds Henry captive in Cinderella's old room in the manor. However, he is rescued by Regina and Hook. The next day, after making a deal with another Hook, Lady Tremaine transforms him into a younger version of himself. ("A Pirate's Life")
At some point, Lady Tremaine has Anastasia's body brought to the manor and kept in a coffin. Shortly after joining the Resistance, Cinderella returns to the manor, where she is blackmailed by Lady Tremaine into stealing Henry's heart to save Anastasia or every member of the Resistance will die, as he has the heart of the truest believer, though Regina convinces her not to do so. ("The Garden of Forking Paths")
Upon discovering Lady Tremaine intends to rip out her heart to revive Anastasia, Drizella confronts her in the manor with Prince Gregor. After blackening her heart by killing him, thus foiling her mother's plan, she vows to cast the Dark Curse to make her suffer. ("Wake Up Call")
Sometime after this, Drizella visits Anastasia's body and muses about how much she has come to hate her sister, shortly before Gothel persuades her to join her coven. ("Sisterhood")Trivia
Production Notes
- The computer-generated set for Lady Tremaine's parlor room is recycled from the CGI model used for the royal manor in "The Stable Boy," "The Doctor" and "Sisters," the Summer Palace in "The New Neverland," and the Royal Castle dining hall in "A Bitter Draught." This can be seen from the identical design of the columns and the archways.[1] ("Hyperion Heights," "The Garden of Forking Paths," "Wake Up Call")
Set Dressing
- The couch in the parlor room[2] is the same prop used in the Sorcerer's mansion in "Mother's Little Helper."[3] ("Hyperion Heights," "The Garden of Forking Paths," "Wake Up Call")
- The bed in Cinderella's room[4] is the same prop used for John Darling's bed in the Darling house in "Second Star to the Right."[5] ("A Pirate's Life")
Filming Locations
- The exterior scenes at the Tremaine manor in "One Little Tear" were filmed on Foxglove Farm,[6] a 120-acre organic farm on Salt Spring Island in British Columbia.
- The same building doubles as the exterior of the home of Edwin in Once Upon a Time in Wonderland.[7] ("Down the Rabbit Hole," "Who's Alice")
- Ironically, this location also doubles as the Tremaine estate in "The Price of Gold"[8] and "The Other Shoe."[9]
- The same farm doubles as the Storybrooke Pumpkin Farm for the episode "The Other Shoe." The scenes at the pumpkin farm were shot at the back of the building that doubles as Lady Tremaine's house.[10][11]
- The house also doubles as the home of Isla, Seraphina and their house sisters in the episode "Flower Child."[12] A shed located on the farm was also used for the scene where Isla pours a bucket of mud onto Gothel.[13]
- Foxglove Farm has also doubled as locations for other productions:
- The home of Simon Kress in The Outer Limits episode "Sandkings."[14]
- The home of Jared Kane in the Stargate SG-1 episode "Icon" (an episode which features Once Upon a Time guest star Timothy Webber)[15] and an East Germany house in the Stargate SG-1 episode "The Gamekeeper."[16]
- The Salvatore Boarding House in the Pilot episode of The Vampire Diaries (a show which stars Once Upon a Time guest star Sara Canning).[17]
- A Nazi stronghold in the Supernatural episode "Everybody Hates Hitler"[18] and the Fox family home in the Supernatural episode "Celebrating The Life Of Asa Fox."[19]
- A Fillory house in The Magicians episode "Have You Brought Me Little Cakes" (an episode which features Once Upon a Time guest stars Charles Mesure, Kacey Rohl and Ryan Robbins).[20]
- An A.R.G.U.S. safe house in the Arrow episode "Bratva."[21]
- Ian Flemming's manor in the Timeless episode "Party at Castle Varlar" (an episode which features Once Upon a Time starring cast member Sean Maguire and guest star Chad Rook).[22]
- The Hollow Sky headquarters in the Beyond episode "Tempus Fugit" (a show which stars Once Upon a Time actors Jeff Pierre and Jonathan Whitesell).[23]
- Thistlehouse during Season Two and Season Three of Riverdale (a show which features Once Upon a Time guest stars Alex Zahara, Barclay Hope, Bruce Blain, Jonathan Whitesell, Julian Haig, Liam Hall, Paul Lazenby, Robin Givens and Tiera Skovbye).[24]
- The Big House at Camp Half-Blood in the 2013 movie Percy Jackson: Sea of Monsters (a movie which features Once Upon a Time guest stars Robert Maillet and Yvette Nicole Brown).[25]
