Tom Hanks’ house in “The Post” and other fine sights in Brooklyn Heights
Eye on Real Estate
Tom Hanks’ house in “The Post” is actually located in Brooklyn Heights, not Washington, D.C.
Hanks plays Washington Post editor Ben Bradlee in Steven Spielberg’s film about the decision by publisher Katharine Graham, played by Meryl Streep, to publish the Pentagon Papers during the Vietnam War.
At a critical moment in the movie, Post reporters go to Bradlee’s home — which gives audiences a good, long look at the exterior of an old-fashioned rowhouse covered with blue-painted wood shingles.
